Happy little trees.

Today is my first oil painting class. I am just a twee bit giddy!

I have wanted to take this class (through Community Ed) for ages and it always filled up or conflicted with my schedule. But now I get to go! Even Swiss is stoked. He has a million ideas for me to paint... now I just need to know how to do it! I'm hoping it goes well and that I really like it.
So, I am going to chanel Bob Ross and am off I go to paint happy little trees, happy little streams, and happy little clouds. Wish me luck!

PS: I've been putzing around with a second blog with my paintings and photos... check it out if you like, it still needs tweeking... Tucker & Swiss Part 2: Art Supplies and ACU's.

Thanks! I am really excited too and it will be good to get the creative juices flowing again! (And get out of the house!) I'll be sure to post whatever I end up painting!

I always used to watch Bob Ross on PBS when I was home sick from school. It was so mellow, I loved it! I've never painted with oils, just watercolor. Have fun in class!
