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.

And here we are on week five. One more week left in the class. I can’t
say I’m utterly talented but it’s really fun to work on this.
