End of Class :(

Today was the last day of painting class.  How sad! I am going to miss the inspiration. One of the benefits of attending a class is it boosts your determination.  I confess I am the type of person who comes to a problem and will more than likely give up and place in the trash than try to work out that problem. I have a giant pile of trash in my laundry room!  In class you have to work through your problems and that has been really good for me.  I worked on two paintings during the class and have learned so much.  The second painting is not yet finished but it will be finished soon. The pink flowers on the tree have gotten a dose of steroids and need to be reduced and simplified.
 Many of my Maui friends will recognize this tree and even where it is on Haleakala Hwy. This is a giant Jacranda Tree shading a Haleakala Green pasture.  I think I have passed this exact tree going up the mountain a million times.  Looking at this painting makes me miss home so much.  Hopefully we will be able to visit this year.
