I know we're struggling with the holiday, but be of good cheer! At least we're still vertical.
I don't have to work, but I am teaching my first Sip-n-Paint here at the park for guests. When Rhonda broached the idea to me last year my immediate reply was, No, are you kidding even though I didn't know what that was. I answer the same with new foods.
But over the winter I had time to chill, and to Rhonda's astonishment a couple months ago I said I'd do it. What the hell, can't hurt when it comes to experience.
Only I don't like painting on canvases. Because of my vision (lazy eye) my depth perception is pretty much non-existent, so I've found it easier to paint when I'm holding something in my hand or leaning against it.
OYSTER SHELLS! What a nice memento of a trip to the Oregon Coast, and fortunately we've got loads of them, thanks to another Workamper who occasionally heads for Newport to where the restaurants toss their empties. We bartered shortly after I arrived, and she made this beautiful painting of
Ruff Life, I must take a photo now.
My American Flag experiment was to (1) experience painting on a shell and (2) paint something simple enough for an hour, hour and a half class. Sure, it's fitting for the day, but not everyone wants to display a flag on a shelf. But an ocean sunset? Piece of cake for the novice...
class begins at 2.Happy Fourth Everyone!
