I started another oil painting but had to stop at this point because it was
too wet. I will repost next week when it is finished.

to paint this beautiful painting. It is so fun to compare the

Rita discusses her painting

Shirley hangs her paintings for critique.

Gail. she's gonna hate for this one!

Liz painted this group of red onions using acrylics. I will be anxious
to see this completed. Should be great!

Shirley used pastel on paper to get this soft effect. Bring this
back next week so we can see it finished.

Shirley painted these happy  little flowers using pastels.  I think
you need to write a children's book and illustrate it.
