We were meant to be 16 but one student had babysitter problems at the last minute – so 15 ladies, 10 of them from Morongo Casino came to Vanguard Gallery last night to paint Cottonwood Creek. I didn’t take many pictures during the later stages as with 15 that was a lot of time that I needed to give individual help to the members of the group. A few snuck off at the end to grab a burrito next door so not all are holding their finished work, but you can see just about all the paintings that were completed.

Some of the graduates
Next month on Aug 25th we’ll be painting a sunrise (see below). If you’re in the area and would like to join the class, please contact Rick either through the Vanguard Gallery website or by calling him at (562) 556 5178. Please call him by August 23rd, though as we may have shopping to do. At the last minute we had to turn away four people because we didn’t have the supplies for additional students and it was too late to acquire them.
I so wish I lived on your side of the world so I could attend some of these ☺

I have been wondering why I haven’t seen any posts from you recently – thought maybe a combination of me not spending a lot of time on wp, plus timezones, but you’ve been quiet…… hope all is well with you.

A little emotional struggle. My eyesight is recovering slower than expected. Perhaps I should write a post on this for other friends such as yourself ☺ Thanks ☺
