For Christmas Ry got me this watercolor set, and the last few days I've been working on it. Seeing as how the last real art class I took was back in 6th grade with Mrs. Bittner, it was a little difficult. Especially since I seem to have almost no patience for actually LEARNING how to do it, it was all I could do to get myself to read the instruction book before picking up a brush and having at it. And of course there was frustration-- each of my grunts were followed by Ry saying, "I'll show you a few things about perspective next time." Or something like that. :) He knows all too well my impatience and "I don't need to learn, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it if I'm just really determined and MAKE it work." attitude. This is what I took inspiration from. :) Notre Dame.
All that being said, I have to say that this, my first painting, is coming out very well. I haven't finished yet, but I just keep looking at it on my little eisel (sp?) and sighing with utter satisfaction. Look what I did! Yay! I'm so proud!
drum roll please. . .
I'm worse than a kindergartener- "Look Mom, look what I drew!!"
That is all. I hope that you are aesthetically pleased, each and every one of you.

Loving it, Molly. By the way, "perspective" is WAY over rated. I LOVE the look of none straight lines and a basic 'can do' additude.
Molly!! I found your blog through the Pettingill's! I was so excited. It's great to see your little family here. We have a blog as well, you're more than welcome to check it out.
