Well, only Shirley and I showed up to paint this week.  Sally was the lunch painter this week.  Unfortunately she had a date with Microsoft Excel and getting the results to LSAG.

Here is the one Shirley has been working on and is making great progress.  It's coming along.  She was worried that it was all just too "red" and was trying to bring out the skin tones a little more.  I think it's looking good.  It just might be another Peoples Choice Award.

Here is the one I've been working on.  I wanted to get it in the show last weekend but since I was out of town I just couldn't get it finished in time.  As I was describing on my blog DebraLatham.blogspot.com , I laid in a gold color in the area of the details on the dress.  Let it dry and then went back and painted over it with the dress color and then scratched out the design.  I wasn't sure if it was going to work. I'm somewhat pleased with how it turned out.  I still had to go back and enhance the details.  I'm done for today.  I'm going to let it dry and then go back in and put more details.  As Shirley pointed out, I now need to go back and bring up the skin tone a bit.  She's right.  She's always right(:-p)

Well, next week hopefully we'll have a few more show up and we'll have more to report on.  We need to get to painting, the next show will be here before you know it. So get those paint brushes messy and create!

  

Even if you can't come to paint, come and join us for lunch we always have some crazy stories to tell that happened to us during the week.  

See you next week, God willing.
