I must express my gratitude. Giving these classes is becoming such a joy for me that I'm really close to giving in and going for my teaching certification. Honestly, both fundraisers were so much fun! The people are sweet, inquisitive, and it was such fun to be with them in the same room. But for me, what was most striking was seeing what just a few suggestions and instructions can get people with little or no art background to be able to do. Even those who said, "I can draw stick figures," did some pretty amazing work. Most were proud to take pictures of the step-by-step process, posting on social media, and taking their paintings home to their families.
I feel so blessed that, first of all, my ability can help others, and second of all, I get to do something I love. Painting is such a therapeutic art, I want to share it with the world.
Now I'm working on an extensive repertoire of paintings that anyone can learn to do, step by step, and will want to display proudly. New ideas are popping up in my head every day, and a really special idea for a class is forming. Once I have it ready to go and scheduled, I promise to share.
I will get a bell to save my wimpy voice, because once people start having fun, they get loud. ;)
