Today I took a painting class. Only did one other painting ever before.

I loved this class because she showed technique.

This was so much fun. After looking at it I think Key West artists are rubbing off on me. If only I could be as good.

She has classes at different places. I took mine at South Seas Captiva.

Here is my work of art. Lol

Awesome.
I've seen paintings at town's Arts Festival on par with that.
One thought: Those houses look a little rickety...
Like a storm out on the gulf stream could blow 'em down.

You should go to Matlacha between Cape Coral and Pine Island and tour the galleries. What are those things that look like mountains? We don't have them here!

Yep, they are handmade huts, the windows are crooked too, did that on purpose, maybe I shouldn’t have.

That is what the instructor asked us to do. It was a fast moving class teaching you different things, all in two hours.

You will be surprised how much Matlacha looks like your painting, with the bright colors on small studios. I'd bet you will take pictures and try to do paintings when you get home. Yes, it's that nice if you like that rustic, tropical look.

Have you done the Captiva Cruises lunch cruise to Useppa Island? That's one of the things we've wanted to do and haven't gotten around to doing yet.

My daughter had a stillbirth today. The doctor told us the baby was at 30 weeks with no skull. We are all heartbroken and flying home in the morning.

Thanks for ❤ love
I am so sorry for your families loss. My Prayers and love are with you and your family. ❤️

No, didn’t do it, was thinking about it but not sure we will be able to fit it in.

It was $60. I had a $5 coupon so $55. It included all supplies. The teacher is an working artist that has exhibits and does paintings on order.

What a beautiful painting! If I saw it at an art fair or in a shop, I'd think about buying it. Congrats, you should be proud.
