Learning Stuff

Postby Monika » Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:50 pm

Although I didn't care much for learning when I was at school, I started to love learning stuff after I left.

I think I told you about joining the art group, a few month's ago, to learn to paint in water colours and, these past two weeks or so I have been trying acrylics - with the following result. I am reasonably pleased with it and will definitely do some more.

The picture is of Queen's View, Loch Tummell and what a beautiful place that is!

Thanks for your comments, Corrie and June.

It's a lovely hobby and the people in the group are really nice ( apart from one - and you always get one) so, it's an added bonus when you create something acceptable.

It's so clear, and the colours are so crisp. Beautiful picture. I have saved it in my odds and ends folder.

Aw Monsy - Thank you!

I'm really "chuffed" - as they say. :mrgreen:

Judging from your picture you must have many more hidden talents, very well done.
