Because I like to challenge myself now and again, I decided to join a recent “Paint Afternoon” held on Lexington Ave in Magnolia organized by Sue Wheeler of Arts Abound. Audi Souza patiently led about 20 of us through painting a seascape with acrylics. Many of us (shooting my hand in the air) are total novices so patience and humor were key elements for success and Audi did a great job managing all of us. Additional art and paint classes are being organized and I suggest you check Arts Abound Magnolia on Facebook for further information and updates. Upcoming artists include Sue Ingram and Ann Klein. With questions or to register email: artsaboundmagnolia@gmail.com. Sue is very responsive. My own “creation” is nothing to hang on a wall, but it’s all mine. Here’s the seascape goal we were aiming for and I end with my partial project before it went totally awry.
