I finally finished my painting. It has a million flaws but I still love it. It's my first. I won't be my last.

I had never meant for the girl to be sad but somehow the drawing I made was sad, so I thought about it a long while as I made my last assignment. I decided to give her some thoughts that have been on my own mind. Here's the closeup.



I can't wait to get started on my second one. Thank you, Paulette. This has easily been the best class I ever took.
