Everyone can take a lot of pride in their painting of this warm still-life.  The book titles and little sticky note in the corner were all individually personalized… It was great fun to see the diversity.

Floating paint creates a lovely, transparent delicacy to the Moon Flower we painted in this class.  The gals found it was easy to paint Lace or Pebbles in a fairly quick manner. Welcome back to Fran!
