For our last class of the spring session, Ron came up with a photo of an older man working on a wood carving, copied from a calendar. Actually I think he was using something like a soldering iron to burn a design into the wood. Since it was our last class and everyone brought food for a potluck, we didn't want to spend too much time painting, so the idea was to do it in an hour or less. Sometimes we find that some nice things happen when we try to work faster. The work tends to be looser and maybe more unified because we are covering larger areas at a time. I think that worked for me in this painting and I am quite pleased with the results.
