Your paintings are lovely! Painting with watercolours will be one of the first things I will try to practise, when I will have more time of my own.<br />Thank you also for your interesting comment. Unfortunately the village.saugerties.ny.us site isn't working now but they have a Facebook page too. A Mum Festival would be something indescribably wonderful. :)<br />Have a lovely new week!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-80874973041632838962016-09-10T11:26:46.815-07:002016-09-10T11:26:46.815-07:00What beautiful paintings!

Buttercup looks very nice. I like art where I can actually tell what it is! You did a nice job on the rooster. My grandma and sisters, the real artists in our family can pretty much draw things exactly as they see them. Unfortunately, I have to be a little more "abstract" regardless of my theoretical artistic preference. ;) Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-30896707934279302492016-09-04T14:07:56.516-07:002016-09-04T14:07:56.516-07:00Great job Lady!

I have dabbled in watercolors, but tend to go back to Inktense pencils, which are easier. The "real" painters I know say that watercolor is more difficult than acrylic or oil because you can't cover up mistakes. I know this to be true!Caffeine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073716022646773106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-74907732430714343282016-09-03T15:54:00.390-07:002016-09-03T15:54:00.390-07:00Lovely paintings, Gracie!

When I'm able to get out more often I hope to go to an art therapy group. At the moment my daughter has shown me how to do a new pattern for the crochet squares I'm making. I'm pleased with the result so far. I hope you have a good weekend whatever you're doing.Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-70712918366628786082016-09-03T00:10:27.582-07:002016-09-03T00:10:27.582-07:00What a wonderful art class, its so good learning s...What a wonderful art class, its so good learning something new.

Your rooster looks so proud and the colors are perfect. Thank you for sharing the fun of this class with us. I've never been able to draw or paint so I really enjoy and admire those of you who do.
