Thankful Thursday

Back in January I said that I was going to begin oil painting classes and wanted to paint two pictures. I am thankful to say that I finished the first one yesterday and am very proud of it. I have been working on the mountain picture and do not have it the way I would like to have it yet, but will continue working on it in the next couple of lessons.






Next, I want to paint a bluebonnet picture, so I have pulled out several bluebonnet pictures and want to find one of a single bluebonnet that I can paint in a small painting.



Here is a picture of my finished painting--not framed yet, but I am thankful that it is finished and that I am pleased with it!

  3. EMMA, yes, it is an amazing picture! The teacher helped me but I LOVED doing it of you and April. I am going to have it framed and hang it in my den!

  4. Hmmm! This was interesting. I wrote it on Tuesday but did not publish it until late Wednesday. However, it has the Tuesday date. I guess it gets the date when it is first written.

  5. The painting is gorgeous! I thought it was Sophie instead of Emma, though. I forget they continue to grow up even though we aren't looking!
