Here are my latest paintings.

The covered bridge is in Woodstock, Vermont. After stopping to take the picture last October, my friend Wanda and I drove through the bridge right out that little road that is depicted there. Thanks to our friend Linda for insisting that we go to Woodstock.

The dog is our first Labrador, Buck. There will never be another like him. I wish I could have done him more justice, but it’s my first one of an animal and only my fifth painting ever. I’ll keep trying.

As I shared before, I am learning to paint as a member of the Artists on Main Painting Society in Goodlettsville. Here’s my third effort. It is a church that Wanda Diatikar and I saw this past October in Woodstock, Vermont (thanks Linda Coombs for the recommendation).

I can’t draw stick people. My least favorite game is Pictionary. I’m an utter failure at it. My daughter in law is a talented artist. My husband and both sons can draw, and of course all my grands are wonderfully gifted. But I’ve never had any hope of ever being able to draw. So when a friend invited me to take painting classes with her I said “Sure, why not?,” thinking this would prove for all time that I have no artistic talent.

I started taking lessons from David Gillihan on this past August. I’m now a member of the Artists on Main Painting Society. Here are my first two paintings:

Ok, I’ve had help from David. But I’m not hopeless, anymore. David is sure he can teach me and I’m excited to learn. More to follow.
