The lady next to me was very cubist. It really was eye opening how the same picture and the same instructions could be so wildly interpreted. The 5 hours went by so quickly.

Then when I left it was snowing and at the same time the sun was shining! Brrr [emoji3063] it’s so cold today. Subzero temperatures windchill. I’m now in my chair under a blanket with a poncho my daughter gave me, drinking hot chocolate. Brrr [emoji3063]

It’s nice being old, I don’t worry about things the way I used to. Even ten years ago I would have worried how bad my art was instead of just enjoying it and marveling on the different interpretations. I would have been constantly comparing and finding myself wanting. And feeling insecure and intimidated. Instead I enjoyed myself and chatted with those nearest me.

I’m so glad you went to the painting class. That sounds like so much fun! I’m glad you had a good time, it is interesting how different people have different styles of painting and the same painting can come out very different for every person

I struggle with the perfectionistic thinking in my artwork/painting etc. I hope someday that gets easier. But I do love it and it relaxes me a lot so that’s what matters

Hot chocolate under a blanket sounds good too!
