Acrylic Class

I know this blog is about photography - but in the midst of all things photography - I have other interests that crossover into each other. So Monday I took my first acrylic painting class here in Auburn. I'll do this 2 times a month for now. I chose this teacher because I liked her style. She personally does body figure paintings: big, bold, bright colors, smooth strokes - and the result is 'wild'! I love it. I wanted to learn how to use the bigger brushes, so as not to get so involved with my paintings, unlike my photography. The class is an hour and a half - and it sure goes fast. So I'd like to think I'll be painting in 'stages' since I only have the hour and an half, twice a month.

This afternoon I spoke again with the owner of the Blue Moon Gallery regarding the photos for the show in February. I'll still be able to use the ones I wanted to and I'll throw in a couple of France photos. Now I need to select at least four jpg's to send her for the card mailing. I also will submit a diptych (two prints comprising one theme).
