This is big to me. I took an oil painting class tonight with my kids (who have been painting for the past year and are fantabulous). I do my design work in photoshop. They are my own drawings, but I don't paint. So, I was literally shaking when we started. I was so nervous I'd make a mistake and it would be permanent, but as I got started going, I really started enjoying myself. I might very well be hooked. I can't wait to take another class. This was my first attempt with real actual oil paint. The photo on the top is the inspiration. Tomorrow in the good light, I'll take some pics of my kids work. They are the bomb! I also need to post about our teacher, Kathy McCartney who just started her own blog... she's sending me the link via email. I can't wait to see it!
I remember that your girls are very artistic and creative. (Not to mention sweet.) And clearly the talent runs in the family. Nice work!! :)

Impressive! Your painting is wonderful and I'm having trouble believing this is your first oil painting. Keep it up!!!
