Sun Bonnet Sue on the Beach

I use to take a class for oils, that is when I learned

that I could paint, I was years old then.

So that goes to show that its never to late.

I stopped taking classes about  years ago but

I have continued to paint some.

When I started with my photography about 3

years ago I kind of put painting on the side.

Not only due to that but also due to the

fact that I have them stacked everywhere in

the craftroom and hanging on the walls....I

was running out of room.

But a few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to

paint something. I have not picked out what

I wanted to paint for my Christmas card this year

so I was not ready to start that, so I picked a little

girl on the beach.

Here she is drawn out.

And this is the starting of putting on the color.

This is her as she continues to improve with

color.

I kind of got the outfit out of sorts and ended up

making it a bit wider under the arm then it needed

to be....so that was something I was going

to have to fix....

She is coming right along now. It has taken me

weeks to finish her since I only work on it here

and there.

But last night I finsihed her. Isn't she the cutest?

Thanks for stopping in,

Pam
