What Difference Will it Make?

This was one of those mornings when coffee and a good book would have been enough. The air was quiet, the sun just yawning, ready to rise with me, and my comfy morning chair beckoned.

But it was not to be… I have deadlines to meet, classes to attend, homework to do. And later in the day, a dance dress-rehearsal to photograph for future paintings. (Two of my granddaughters compete — this weekend is their yearly show.)

I’m rounding out week two in both my current classes, Blogging at LVS, and Open Studio (painting landscapes this session) at the Digital Art Academy.

God stop me if I ever again try to immerse myself so publicly, so visibly in classes that split my thinking! My two brain hemispheres have a challenge working in the same room at the same time. Choose, they tell me. One of us at a time!

Or should I apply what I’m learning in my painting class to my new blog? Maybe. I think so…

I plan to post paintings often — what I’m currently working on, sometimes works-in-progress, sometimes finished paintings already on canvas or watercolor paper. (I paint with traditional watercolors and oil paints as well as with Painter.)

Sometimes I’ll post a tutorial using Corel PainterX.

Here is a quickie landscape I did using Painter last fall. I use it as a greeting card, blank inside.

Today I’m sending it to you as my way of thanking you for stopping by. I hope doing so will make a difference to you somehow.

I welcome comments and conversation… the coffee pot’s on, the teakettle steaming.
