Painting.....

Where I work, there is a painting class down the hall, and I'm so jealous, I have always wanted to paint. In the Spring 2011, I registered for the course.  So below are some of  my artwork from the course.

I have tried to put them in the steps, as they were created.

Our first was still life in monochromatic colors......

Then we were had to try and learn dimension...















                        



Next we had to do a collage.  We searched through magazines and found pictures we liked, cut out parts of them and made a collage.  That would be our painting. 

(see tiny pic in white frame on second picture)

The final painting was to be surrealist.  My favorite hobby now is our 135 gallon aquarium. So I found a beautiful landscape and a cool ocean picture, used photoshop to mesh together and this was the end result.
