This is my latest oil painting I finished this spring. This particular work was actually the result of a Bob Ross class, which I found immensely enjoyable, yet this work was hardly creative. Mainly, I enjoyed learning new techniques of shading and textures.




Another spring painting from the BR class was this May basket. This was my first real attempt at flowers. Now my interest in painting flowers is peaked and I definitely will be trying my hand at them in the coming weeks.



This work was done following my daughter's leaving home for college. In an effort to overcome the empty nest syndrome I resorted to making her my art subject which actually helped very much in passing those long empty hours.




This final composition was actually my first effort working with my dear teacher, Dorothy.
