Thanks for stopping by :)
I wanted to te...Hi Cathy,<br />Thanks for stopping by :)<br />I wanted to tell I taught One Stroke classes for about 4 years and I hope your instructor didn't actually say she didn't like your painting!? <br />Your still life is great, and hearing you say the instructor didn't like it and you did is BACKWARDS in my opinion :) Most of my students would tend to be so hard on themselves and I always tried to encourage as much as I could. I even brought examples of my first leaves, daisies, roses to show them that we all start in the same place so do not be intimidated :) Just keep playing and having fun.<br />I'm like you, I like to change things up and try new things. That's a good thing, right? Keep painting whatever it is that makes your heart smile, that's what I say!! You rock!Art by Darla Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992711283459621270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-67274928108217020622010-09-12T21:58:39.824-07:002010-09-12T21:58:39.824-07:00I can't paint.

You'll really get into painting still life once you start again. Thank you for your kind words on my blog.

I am an expert crocheter. I feel comfortable saying that now! :-) But truth is, I am an expert knitter too...but I don't like to do it AT ALL!!! I LOVE the way it looks when a project is finished, but knitting seems slow, tedious, and fraught with opportunities for disaster!...At least you're keeping a positive mindset about it, even if you are struggling with the process. Good for you!PoetessWughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269054577952128702noreply@blogger.com
