Here We Go Again: Inspiration

Inspiration

I have been given a treat by my family to use some Christmas money to do an online art class. I am super duper excited about this one.

Just started the first week and can hardly wait to dust of the paint brushes that have not gotten a lot of use since our move to Hong Kong to be honest. The great thing about this course is that the lessons are posted on a blog and you can look and follow on your own time. Because the classes are not 'live', the time change doesn't matter. yipee

If I am really brave maybe I will even post some pics of my work...............maybe
