I love taking a workshop that leads me in a new direction. I acquire new skills, explore and experiment. I have never painted using acrylic paint before and I am really enjoying using it. Last week in class, we started by creating a collage to use as inspiration for the underpainting. I didn’t finish it and don’t like it really. It isn’t resonating with me..yet…maybe it never will! Bit rather than turn my back on it and get on with something else, I am going to perservere!
My Acrylic painting class is with Bernadette Curtin (Bernie!), 
It is still a work in progress….And I worked a little more on the ‘Collage’ painting today, and don’t really want to post it …but as this is in the spirit of expanding my boundaries…Courage my Love! Here goes…
The plan for this painting is to add text across it, so that the colours, bubbles and textures form an underpainting. So that will be the next step. eeeeeeeek!
………………UPDATE – I finished this painting! Look for Courage my Love part 2!

Oh I love seeing how this is evolving Jane! Can’t wait to see what comes next…
Are you enjoying it? The process?
I sure am! Actually…that is not quite accurate..as there are many challenges and frustrations…and I don’t always like what I come up with…everything is a work in progress! It’s so nice to be a beginner though, and just experiment and not get too uptight about where my painting is ‘going’…trust the mess is my motto when I have a paintbrush in my hand!
Hi Jane. It never ceases to amaze me just how talented you are!
Well, prepare yourself Terri! I just finished that painting….I’ll blog about it later today. How about you, is your photography going from strength to strength after your big win last year!?!
