Copic Creations

I find coloring soooo relaxing, and using a medium that you need to learn how to blend satisfies that artistic bent I have. I wish I could draw and paint well, but that's not my gift. Thank goodness for art rubber stamps!  I also love the small scale of greeting cards, which allows me to finish something rather than start and stop over several days or weeks. I'd dearly love to take a painting class, but sadly, in my neck of the woods the prices are out of my pocketbook range. Retired teachers' pension in the south is beyond pitiful. I'm not interested in those party type classes where everyone copies the same picture. They are affordable, but I want to learn how to paint on my own, you know? If we ever move to Denver to be near our son, I will be able to take art classes galore. I've checked with the recreation departments and art centers in several of the suburbs:) I sure would miss my friends and my Church though. This is where I've lived most of my life and it's home.
