Cinderella's Coach 12x14

I finally had time to finish this---I redid the pansies and got them to the right sizes--I have no idea why I made the white one so large--I added some pansies on the floor and adjusted the size of the pumpkin. I enjoyed painting this. I learned a lot in Nancy Medinas' class---this was our first day at the workshop and and I just got the under painting done so finished it today ( I took a lot of notes and had good pictures and it was quite easy to finish, You can see the previous one and the changes I made--it is further down on my blog.I darkened the pumpkin and changed the name and corrected size...

October Blue

This was our 2nd day project--I was able to paint Saturday, our second day--it seems like everytime I paint Hydrangeas, they look different  --i was pleased with this, Nancy said she liked it :-) and took a photo of it with me holding it ---and posted it on fb....that was exciting....everything went well compared to Friday and the pansies---well it went well until I got home--opened the trunk of the car to get the hydrangea painting and....the failed pansy painting had somehow rolled on top of the hydrangea painting and smeared the hilite clear across the painting--I have not fixed it yet, but i will. Well, I went back for our last day Sunday--and not to sound like a pity party--I felt confident Sunday that I could find her house again cause  had been there twice--i was making good time and i was driving and day dreaming or something, when suddenly everything did not look familiar--Oh I told myself, I probably just didn't notice that store, or church or that house--I shook it off and kept driving and driving and suddenly the road ended---i went past her street! I think for some reason I was cursed for this workshop--something happened each day! But I tell myself it was worth it--I felt like I learned a lot --had wonderful food met alot of great people.

Pumpkin, Pots & Pansies

Pansies were taught the 1st day of Nancy Medinas' 3 day workshop. I simply could not paint that day, all I accomplished was the transparent lay in. So I brought my canvas home to finish---Today, Monday, is the first day  I had a chance to work on it.  So this is the first pass. I see things I need to change but the pansies went much better today. More later.....
I just noticed--the pumpkin that I loved should be short and squatty that is what I loved about it--guess when I have time to paint again, i am going to  fix that---I always see my mistakes later rather than sooner! lol  I can't wait to fix that huge white pansy--i made it smaller than I had it in the block-in already--but just did not go small enough.  ohhhh I am itching to paint! :-) I hope you enjoy my struggles, I feel better to get off my chest.

Connie's Vase w/ Sunnies (11x14)

The first on the left was what i did in Nancy Medinas' class on the last day of a wonderful 3 day workshop--Held in Connie Turners beautiful home...Connie is so gracious and made sure of our every need (her helpers were Robin and Mary)--we were even served warm from the oven-cookies while we watched Nancy Medina  paint the most beautiful painting--sigh heaven. The second painting is what I changed when I got home--I made some corrections.
THEN, i looked at what I did and saw more mistakes---the Big one on the right is the final version...(I hope) I will be posting the other 2 days paintings shortly!
