Beginning Painting Class

This is the start of the pictures from the painting class that we started last week. Hubby's picture is of a hike that we went on in the Smokey Mountains. It was a year ago this last May that we visited there with our son and his family.
Here is mine and it also is a picture that I took when we went to the Smokey's. It is of my two grandson's walking towards a barn. We have allot of work to do on them but I think they aren't to bad for beginners. We've talked for years about taking a painting class together so it pretty neat that we started one.

Hubby's mother was such a beautiful painter and is 88 and doesn't paint anymore so she gave us all of her supplies. She even gave hubby her easel so I didn't have one so hubby got me this one off of eBay. Its a french style easel and folds up to a box so that I can take it outside or with us when we travel.
Hope you have a warm spring day, it looks like rain here!
Julie

    I love what both of you are doing. Very different styles, yours has a wonderful, simple primitive look to it...meant as a huge compliment. Please let your husband know that I love his clouds, something I have never been able to get right.

    Looking forward to the finish.

    Blessings,
    Jilly
