I can't believe we're already into week 4 of Flora Bowley's Bloom True class. Time flies when you're being brave and loving what you're learning!
At the last painting group get-together I attended, I worked on Layers 3 & 4 of my canvases. We've been meeting at my mom's house, she's very welcoming☺.
There were 4 of us at this meeting: me, my mom, friend Lynn, and cousin Penny. It's always fun and interesting to see someone else's interpretation of the class--and how that translates to the canvases. The great part about meeting in person is being able to exhange ideas, share materials, and see other people working. Of course I'm easily distracted...but I love the kinship.
Here are some glimpses at our in-progress canvases...

I can only imagine what everyone's canvas will look like this coming weekend at painting group--with 2-4 more layers added. Totally transformed, I'm sure!
I fell behind on last week's painting lessons and then just couldn't pull myself together to go to painting group this past weekend. Yesterday afternoon though, I rallied and painted at home in my studio.
After Layer 5:
After Layer 6:
I used my fingers a lot on these latest layers--and loved it. In fact, when I was done with the canvases for the day, I couldn't resist using up the rest of the paint on my palette.
First I did this background on a 4x6 canvas
Then I went to town on my Art Journal/Play Book.
Are these backgrounds or nearly finished pages? Who knows!
I used the last little bits of paint on a book page.
Very fun, very freeing and feeling very fortunate to be part of this journey!
