Wow, I can’t believe how long this has taken, and FLASH in a few days a friend with know-how made tons of improvements that had been holding me back.  In the meantime, I’ve changed the overall idea from a 26 week course, to full length videos and particular topics.   So, what will change is that there will not a monthly fee, but you’ll be able to join for an annual fee of  only $29.97 and then be able to buy whatever video you need for where you’re at.  Note, you will need  high speed internet access (DSL or faster) to see the videos without interruption.  If you don’t have high speed internet, I’ll put the video on a DVD for you for an small fee.

Your annual membership will also give you access to live streaming instruction that I will offer via ustream once I have at least 10 people signed up.  So, stay tuned, it really is coming SOON!  Thank you, Donna!!!  Keep up and Please Login or Register to see the link. and/or catch me on Please Login or Register to see the link.!

Thanks to those of you who took the survey!  Daisies won:  paint the stems and centers….so I did, and here it is:

Connections 20 x 16 Scratchboard

I called it “Connections” for all the crossing of stems and yet one or two not quite connected, kind of “hanging out” in space.  It struck me as I was working on it.

I thoroughly enjoyed working on this one. I video recorded alot of it, but not all…it took 117 hours, after all.  Anyway, I’m editing the video now and hope to get this all figured out really soon.

I’m sorry it’s taken so long.  I’m just as subject to the distractions that keep me from the studio as anyone who is struggling to learn to paint.  It’s life.  But when painting is integrally related to the blood that courses through my veins (or at least it seems that way) I have to get back to it, or go nuts.  Figuring out the online part is intimidating, but I’m working on it…so hang in there!  I’ll get it done yet!

And, while I’m thinking about it, perhaps it was kismet that I finished on the Friday of Memorial Weekend.  May we all remember our Connections to all those who serve and have served and have given their lives and limbs for our Freedom.
