So I just finished my oil painting class. It was so much fun and I learned soooo much! I know that my art skills improved greatly! My favorite class was when Harold and Louise came to model for us.. They were this really cute old couple and I ended up painting Louise. Well it just happened that same day I had an Orthodontist apt so I had to leave class early, but I wanted to finish my painting of Louise, so I ran to my apt and got my camera so I could take a picture of her and finish my painting later. I heard Harold ask my teacher if he was allowed to buy a painting, and the teacher was like "that's up to the student" and I thought oh, that's cool that they want to buy a painting. Before that Harold had been looking at all the paintings during one of his modeling breaks and he told me mine was the best.. and that was when the painting had like nothing there... So when I was packing up to leave early Harold came to me and asked if I'd be willing to sell them my painting... I thought that was so neat that they'd want to buy MY painting! I told him I'd like to finish it but that when I did I would just give it to them. So that's what I just got back from doing... I delivered my painting to them. They were so excited for it and really liked how it looked. It was so hard just giving a painting to strangers... I had about 8 hours into that painting, but I know they'd appreciate it more than I would. Since it is the Christmas season I would have felt bad asking for money for it and I know I'll be blessed for my service. I had fun visiting with the old couple and they showed me other artwork they had in their home. He said they'd put my painting where they had a picture of Harold done by one of the Parsons, so I thought that was pretty neat... Here's the finished picture:
It's not my best and the flash from the camera kind of messes up the colors, but I was proud of it and I do like it. I was going to get a picture of Louise holding it, but I forgot... Let me know what you think!
