Birch trees

Hello my sunny pals,

I went to painting class last night and I am not crazy about my work of art. I thought this was going to be an easy class and that every painting I would improve. It didn't happen. In fact last nights class was my hardest and the subject couldn't have been easier. It was a group of birch trees with a water back ground.

It looked simple enough but wow! Everyone in class painted a completely different picture. It was bizarre. I was sitting next to this guy named David and he was an art major from Michigan. I was pissed! His painting was a masterpiece! I couldn't believe it. I never knew you could have art envy! Even our instructor was kind of blown away by David's picture.

I love this class and have painted 5 pictures now. I am not sure I have any classes in October that I want to attend. You have a choice of what picture you want to paint so I don't waste my money on something I am not interested in. Which is awesome considering the next painting is a butterfly. Nope. Not for me.

I am going to have to come up with some kind of entertainment for the next month to keep me on track. I have been commissioned by my girl friend to make earrings. I guess I will be working on that for the next month. I haven't played with my beads in a very long time. I just lost interest. I think my creative needs to be mixed up. I can't always do the same thing all the time or I get bored.

And life is anything but boring!!

Love,
Michelle
