Moving to Saskatoon from Moose Jaw was a good decision in every way, except for one: I miss Lloyd and Judy's painting lessons.
About two months ago I decided to take advantage of their presence here in the prairies while I still can (they're moving back to Parksville at the end of the summer) and take some more lessons.
So on March 14th I drove down, and painted to my heart's content, for about 3 hours. Judy fed me lunch, and that gave me good energy. Below was the result.
Note the painting on the left, a painting by Judy. I was trying my bestest to copy her great work of art.
Anyways, fast forward to today, and another 3 hours of work, and voila, the result:
It took me 6 hours in total to complete it. I'm very pleased. Painting is tremendously therapeutical. I wish I could do it on my own, without so much need for guidance. But then, painting is no different from any other skill - sports or music for example - it requires much patience and practise.
Before Judy and Lloyd move back to BC I'd like to do 3 more paintings:
* one of a west coast scene
* one of the badlands
* and a "set" of two, with a forest scene
