Seagulls in progress...

I am painting, and not turning out anything I feel especially good about.  Switching from acrylics to oils is a big learning experience.  I enjoy the challenge, but I am frustrated with my lack of expertise.  I have started oil painting classes with Joyce Hall, nationally known artist specializing in equestrian art.  Her paintings are out of this world beautiful.  She is a warm, funny, unassuming teacher, who obviously loves painting and teaching.  Here is my most recent non-class effort:

still  a lot of work to do on it, obviously.

Have a great day,
Cindy
