Today I went to a watercolor class and painted greeting cards with 9 other students. The teacher started by showing us step-by-step how to paint a mountain scene. Once our confidence was up she had us take a break, browse the gallery and eat pumpkin bread before we started a project of our choosing.
Among the card examples the teacher brought I found a painting done from the back-side of a flower. I loved the detail, the idea of mixing color, and the chance to work with dark and light values of red. During the class I talked with other students and enjoyed having adult conversations. Volunteering at the boy's school I've met several moms that are now friends, but since schedules don't allow us to get together often finding a group with common interests was a gift. I felt a lot of enthusiasm for my new hobby. I believe when 2 or more gather energy is generated and fills those present.
The holidays are coming and while we have time off from school, work, and daily schedules I will be feeding my soul painting and thinking about the new class starting in January.
