Week Eight of Art Classes

This was the eighth week of the classes. I was busy with commissions too but I did find time to work on a new painting of my own, which is great.  The painting is of a mermaid and it is me. I have painted my happy little mermaid at home under a sea I took from a wave scene image in America of our favourite beach. The sky is Irish. I am content in my little world beneath. I love the movement and composition and the beautiful greens and blues. The quote of the week is "Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher." This wont let me upload photos of the paintings so I will try later! All the best, Elaine

 I am delighted to report that I have finished two commissions and now have time to do some of my own work.  I have started a new commission as well. The students in my classes are getting in the spirit of Halloween as you can see with the photos I have added.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The quote that best illustrates this week: "The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight but while their companions slept they were toiling upwards in the night." H.W. Longfellow

I missed an entry last week because I was away on Friday when I usually have time to put up recent work.

I have a few things of my own to show you this week. All artists need to find what they have done well in a painting rather than always focus on what is wrong with a painting. Refreshing!
