so excited!!!!

you all remember back when I shared how the art journaling class basically threw me into an artistic fit? well, guess who is starting a NEW art journaling class this week!! WHOOO HOOO!!! I am so excited about the class and meeting new people and also seeing old friends! also doing an artists trading card group with some of the journaling buddies which I think will be super fun and challenging……. the “prompts” are pieces of music which we already have chosen and will be put in a hat …and drawn randomly…and THEN there is a second hat…..also drawn randomly will be a visual artist…..which will will use to influence our work on said cards! :)…….fun and challenging!!! oh and let me ALSO add to the mix that in a couple of weekends I will be once again taking part in the mask and the mirror workshop which will be my second one…….I am pushing myself this year to be more artistic,…..and feed my creative soul…….I will be returning to savannah at the end of April which will feed me in many ways…..rené wont be coming along which I hate but school calls…… ms. Byrd will be my co-pilot this trip and we will be staying on Monterrey square just across from the mercer-williams house…..its just going to be a great trip and a recharging one as well on top of ALL of this, I am also working on a painting based on a photo that I have held onto for some time now….it is of a person I once knew named William Morva. Wiliam…or at least the William I knew, was a kind soul… he was a little different but I was never afraid of him or found him off etc. well, William had a mental illness and at some point, he and his brother decided to steal an atm and were caught. William was jailed and he ended trying to escape from a hospital after faking an injury…he escaped when he shot a cop and he died…...and was on the lamb for some time……eventually he was caught and this was the photo that was published online and in newspapers…… I have always found it reminiscent of a renaissance painting……and NOW…..I am FINALLY giving it yet another go….this will be try #3….next up will be my portrait of my dear friend Walteice @
