I finished this lesson from today. CLICK HERE @LM Sharron your interesting in doing this today made me work hard to find a different work flow that worked faster. @Kate Bullock @Rebecca Martin @Karen Mack - it was awesome to have you in class today. Thank you.

This beautiful pair want the territory around our RV. They are fighting their reflections in the tinted windows. I'm going to smear soap on the outside to see if that will work. I can shoo them tapping on the glass but they sure are persistent.

Painting Snacking Kingfisher in 45 minutes! Let’s go! This is class #1 so lets start at the top. LIVE is free if you are LEVEL 3. You don’t need a thing. Just ability to watch a ZOOM and a little curiosity. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88156068538?pwd=hhlM53HQXsb3Ra0klAnpRu0Z0SZnSi.1 I will be there with bells on!

@Michelle Cyr You were right! I finished this first layer plus additional yellow highlights all in one sitting! I didn't check the time. I'm guessing between 1.5 and 2 hours. Time fell away. I am rather pleased with the result. My bee isn't quite what I'd like. But he is there! I made a creative choice to underlie the outer ring as well as the inner ring (with burnt sienna). @LM Sharron I forgot you asked about that until after I did it! I wanted more of that color. My opinion is mixed on whether or not that worked. Hmmm, now that I attached the picture here, maybe it did work after all. I put too much of the "dark" colors while mixing. This is why I have so much paint on my palette. I am through my white and my yellow. I am very glad I ordered paints this week. Anyhow, I celebrated the 4th with oil painting. 😁 And I will set up my 1 on 1!!

This little girl is packing it on! My sister shared this wonderful video from her garden, and I couldn’t resist passing it along. Now you can see why “Nailed It Too” is going to be a perfect gift for her. ❤️🐝🌻
