The painter within




When I was in my early teens, my aunt Madeline who is an accomplished artist taught me how to tole paint. My brief intro into the world of painting left me yearning for more. Thirty seven years later that yearning has had a chance to take root. After a quick two hour errand to Michaels craft store I happened to come across a class in progress. The ladies were painting and it looked like they were having fun. Well I signed up for the next class, and after hounding all of my neighbors for their Michael and Joanne 50% off coupons, purchased my supplies. The pictures are my first projects. My teacher Loretta is so much fun, and really helps us with our painting.

The knitting projects in my baskets at home have some stiff competition!
