Not all about travel!!

A while back...when I started to get serious about my painting I decided to try a portrait...I asked my daughter to pose for me and jumped right in!!  I know this has nothing to do with travel but it certainly is part of my journey.   Then I got even braver and painted my cousin Mark as Santa Claus...that was lots of fun!!  My latest attempt was the portrait of a little girl with the sweetest face...I hope you enjoy!!

Another pic from the past!

   This painting is of Rockport, MA.  I had taken this photo on a trip to Rockport at least 20 years ago with my art teacher!!  I finally decided to tackle it ...and I think it works pretty well!!  I am sort of jumping around with my works right now...but I'm still getting the hang of this "blogging" thing and because of that I am just filling in the blanks as I come to them.  I still work full time and so only get to paint when I am in my class( with the same teacher) which is why I still take classes!!! Sort of forces me to paint..you know!!!
  
   I hope you continue to follow me as I try to make sense of my journeys...both in art and in travel.  Sometimes I will probably go off track but I promise I will try to make it work so you can enjoy!!!
