I Think We're Alone Now

 I set up a still life at home, and took a picture of it. In class, I put it on a TV screen for everyone to paint, including me. I talked as I painted (surprise, surprise) at each step. Everyone will bring in the finished paintings on Monday, but I'll tell you.......what a true joy to see all of the unique interpretations of the same photo! Everyone is really letting loose, and the results really show it. I can't wait to see their finished products. Have I mentioned how much I love this group?

  2. Stunning, Laurie! And luscious. I have got juice dripping down my chin and I am inhaling deeply, taking in the fragrance of the tulips and the essential oils of the orange. Lucky am I to have discovered your art.

    Any chance you videoed? I would LOVE to watch you paint and LOVE to hear what you say while you paint …

    1. You are something else, Dotty! Thank you so much! No I didn't video tape. I have to figure out how to do that! I may have to have you come to Michigan to one of my classes!
