 Whoo who! This was our first assignment for the Get Your Paint On class that I'm taking. I've admired Mati Rose and Lisa Congdon's art work for a while and when I found out they were teaching a painting class I almost peed my pants!! I've never taken an art class and I've really just been trying to get serious about this for the past year. I think I finally realized that this is when I'm the happiest- painting sketching and creating! So maybe i should learn some different techniques so I don't get stuck in a box. I'm pretty pleased with the way this turned out...I've been very attracted to geometric shapes for a while now but this was first real attempt. The inspiration was Gee's Bend Quilts and they are amazing! I can't wait to start next weeks assignment!
