I went to a paint party taught and attended by my friends, but couldn't quite bring myself to paint mountain peaks of imagination when I always feel homesick for the Mountain I grew up seeing in my bedroom window
So why was everyone supposed to paint the exact same scene -- with campfire and white-capped mountains? I like your originality. A lot to look at in yours.
My daughter had the exact same feeling last week when a teaching seminar had every one making ducks all the same. She couldnt bring her self to conform and has spent all weekend worrying abouut where education in Australia is going.
@mcsiegle@ubobohobo this is really a simple class to teach technique to beginners, and I have taken four years of college art classes, thirty years ago. I just go to socialize and use the supplies and remind myself that I used to find great joy in painting before adulting took too much time.
@aglennc don't get me wrong, I chose this area, but still, sometimes the redwoods feel like a long dark hallway, like there is no sky. And I miss Mountains, especially now that my family has moved away from Wyoming.
@pandorasecho Dixie, I can agree with you when you say the redwoods feel like a long dark hallway --- Now that you mention it. I'm claustrophobic, and I can imagine feeling somewhat that way if I was there all the time. I'd never thought about it that way. We are also mountain enthusiasts!!
