That being said, your shell painting is awesome. You did a good job and it is such a neat, neutral "topic" that I would even hang it up in my home.

I've done these classes twice (where we all painted the same thing) and been so nervous about it, because the artistic gene skipped me as well and I just don't enjoy it. To get in to it and be proud of your outcome is great!<br /><br />(Interestingly, I didn't want to knit, since I am not crafty/not an artist... but that is a type of art, right?

The funny thing is - everyone feels the same way about their painting and almost all of them are so much better than they think. Kind of a weight loss metaphor too, I guess, since we generally are much harder on ourselves about our looks than the rest of the world really judges us!Darcy Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762044938727103931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-69786913517480984732015-10-05T09:52:00.798-05:002015-10-05T09:52:00.798-05:00I love your shells!

Idea seems simple, but then--how are you supposed to implement it? You did really great, and now for the first time--are CC and Loretta mother and daughter, or sisters? You probably told us a long time ago, but I have no memory of that. debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-64699224154505112552015-10-05T09:50:00.588-05:002015-10-05T09:50:00.588-05:00I've done this twice.
