Well, I am happy to say that my son and his wife finally, after almost a year, sold their townhouse. I helped out a with packing up the smaller items that were used in the staging and taking them to their garage for a garage sale. The movers took the furniture that was not bought by the buyers or friends in the neighborhood.
For Jenn's challenge this week at The Artist's Playroom-to "paint something you have been thinking about but haven't gotten around to"- I did this sunset from my photo taken while I was up in Door County Wisconsin one Fall.
I am also entering it and the charcoal portrait below the sunset to Paint Party Friday hosted by Kristin and Eva. Please try to visit some of these links to see what other artists are working on.

First weeks lesson in portrait class
I have been looking forward to this class with friend and fellow artist Ann Feldman. She does excellent portraits and says that they are her first love in painting. But some of you might also know her from her entries into some of the Daily Paintworks challenges or her gallery on that site. As you can see, the grid for sizing my portrait is still evident. I think her right eye is a little wonky, but we will correct and then move on to another portrait next week. Learning something new is the best!
