Acrylics class

-

I'm taking an acrylic painting class at Jerry's Artarama in Tempe. It is very challenging for me, but I love the results. This is a (poor quality) photo of the painting I did today. It is from one of my photographs of Maui when we went in 2004. The color in the actual painting is much more vivid.

Those, I expect, will go well. The third and newest class is acrylic painting with middle schoolers. I will have 8 students, 2 more than I should have taken and we are the last class of the day. I sure hope they have fun and learn something in the process. Let the games begin (or the painting begin...). More later.

Anyway, here's my progress so far.
