Coloring My World

I just finished my first painting. Yep, me. The one who has never painted anything but walls and only ever used crayons and markers, when attempting to draw on paper.


I decided I need to do something totally new and different, so signed up for a 6 week paint class this summer. Our first project is due tomorrow, so I finished up today. Can't say I'm thrilled, or even real excited, about what I did, but considering I'm on a huge learning curve, it's ok. Which brush does what? How heavy/light do I put on the paint? How in the world do you make brown? It's all a bit of a puzzle, but I like being stretched to do something so out of my league.


And I did it with my left hand. I can't even scratch my nose with my left hand! - so I guess the fact that any paint ended up on the canvas and not all on me or the floor = success.


Try something new this summer! Something you have never done and don't know the first thing about. Learn some Chinese language, or how to cook Indian food. Whatever. You have permission to try something totally out of the box, for you. And if you try, you win. So go for it, and let me know what you do!
