These painting pictures are mostly for my own records to keep track of my progress in my pursuit of painting. However, I am pleased so far!

After lesson #3


I am happy with the progress! This is a really fun creative outlet and hobby. While I was painting tonight I remembered the talk that Elder Deiter F. Uchtdorf gave in the Relief Society General Broadcast last September. He said, "the desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul...you dont need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty." I loved that talk and it is taking new meaning as I put paint on this canvas and create something beautiful and of my own.

My Lumber Jack

Since I have gotten started oil painting recently I have been really excited about it! My sweet husband is extrememly supportive and encourages me to pursue my interests. Today, though, he topped all! He actually constructed for me an easel to use at home! What a great guy! Here are some shots of the progress and the finished product.
