Art Class Progress

Though I must do this in a hurry
It might even cause a little worry
But at least these photos are not blurry
As for this trip I rush and scurry
Just had to give you the update
On my paintings, even though it's late
For I love to watch things as they change
Unless it's a dog with mange (gotta rhyme, you know).
So here's what happening right before your eyes
And this will be no big surprise
For they're natural with no disguise
Just hope they don't cause any negative "Oh Mys!"



First try...

Next try, where the teacher said it was finished so I got a frame, then I decided it wasn't quite finished...

Second try without the frame...




Final try where I added some more final touches in spite of the teacher teasing me for still working on it and bringing it back!....


Without the frame and 'finished'....





Here's the start of the other painting, a landscape that is ever changing...





Here it is with the burnt trees that I did and the mountains that she originally wanted...


A closer view of my forest fire trees....

Totally (almost) changed as she closed in the water and told me to take out the mountains, I LOVE what she did to the trees, but I did the water all by myself...still needs lots of work and there may be a little waterfall between the trees on the left and the one on the right (I do like waterfalls)....



And a close up of what is happening...



By the time you see this post (if it posts like a good little post should) it will be getting VERY close to time for us to be coming back. I will have missed all of you dearly for you are all dear to my heart and I am so blessed to have all of you in my life!!!!
~~~Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirit, thank You for the wonderful blessings of visiting and then coming back home safely with happy memories.

  7. These are awesome, Marcy. I LOVE 'em! Someday, when I dont' have curious little fingers around quite so much, I'd LOVE to do oil painting. (Dabble in watercolors -- and acrylics now, but it's not the same atall!) you are so multi-talented!

  8. Oh, Marcy, they are both fabulous!
    I love them both! The flower is so pretty, but there is something about the trees and the water that is tugging my heartstrings!
    'Can't wait to see what you do with it next!
    'Can't wait to 'see you' back in the village!
    (Isn't it strange that you seem 'away' even though you are posting from afar, which is really what happens all the time anyway!)
    'Hope you are having tons of fun!
    Safe trip back home!
    Love to you!,

  9. It's such fun to see the progress on your paintings!

    And I'm very impressed by your forethought in preparing such interesting posts to keep us company while you are absent!

    It will be SO great to have you back - alive and in person!

  10. I was not aware that you were this accomplished as an artist. I especially like the flower picture with the contrasting blue and white...beautiful.

    Looking forward to your return.

  11. Hello to my budding artist friend...
    I like the changes that you made to your trees....and the water...and especially that you took the land 'away'...and the water flows through the painting in the last one. Very good, Marcy. I love to paint. It is therapy...wonderfully relaxing...and a great way to express your feelings and share your talents. I miss you....
    Love,
    Jackie

  20. November 11 to November 16 ~ FIVE DAYS! You wrote that November 11 was VERY CLOSE to the time you'd be back. What's your idea of VERY CLOSE???
    Okay, dish. What's really going on?
    Why do I have the feeling you're not sharing something with us?
    Come on, Miss Marcy! Tit for tat! I spill my guts, you spill yours!
    I'm waiting......
    Your friend in all that Heaven and earth holds dear (and even the not-so-dear), through thick and thin, through feast and famine,
    Eileen

  21. Hi Marcy! The scene painting is lovely! I've gone to some of those "sips and strokes" art classes and my paintings have turned out fair, fair enough that I want to get an easle, some paints and take this on as a hobby. It is so relaxing. Nice to see your work, and it is very good!

    Blessings,
    Abbey

  22. Monday evening....
    Marcy...I think that you'd better post a blog or comment. Eileen is getting to the point that I think we're going to have to sedate her.
    :)))

  24. ***Hi everybody...

    I am starting a post now and will post today but I have painting class so it will be after that. When I stopped for several breaks from clean up the past few days, I did visit all of you but had no time to do comments as well.

    Suffice it to say that there have been many unusual "challenges" since we got back home and we had to alter the 'Home Sweet Home' to 'Home Smelly Home'.

    May God bless you with wonderful things today and always.

    See you later today, my blessings.

    love and hugs,

    marcy

  26. Oh, I can't wait to read your post. I've had severe withdrawal symptoms since you've been absent. I've not had a good joke to laugh at since you went away!

    I miss hearing from you :)
