Hidden talent (very hidden)

When I saw there was going to be an art class at the club house taught by Arlene Florence,  I decided to give it a whirl.  Arlene had her own art school and has exhibited paintings in museums and galleries.   I got the list of supplies, ran to Michaels in Boone and spent $62.00 on paints, brushes and canvas.




There were 10 of us for the class.  To start we placed 10 dots on our canvas, then connected the dots with straight or curved lines.

Now comes the fun part, painting between the lines.  After using the red, yellow and blue paints, we had to create out own colors.








Each painting is completely different from each other.








  
"Each person is unique, just as in handwriting.  I want to bring this out in the art." - Arlene Florence

My finished project:


All of our masterpieces are hanging on a wall at the club house.  I think I need to take a few more lessons.  We had a lot of fun.  Come to find out, if you bought the supplies from Arlene it was only $4.00.  (don't tell hubby)
