In early September my painting class started up again after a year and a half of the pandemic. I was looking forward to going back, but when I arrived at the first class, I realized that it wouldn't be the same as before. Sitting in a classroom with a mask on was not so much fun and although there were only about 10 people, I didn't know who had been vaccinated, and that made me a bit nervous. I used the time to paint this view of the old ranch house at Jack Brook Horse Camp where we had been recently.
The following week at my class I started this painting of another scene from Jack Brook Horse Camp with the morning fog clearing. I inserted a couple of riders from another photo (Maureen and Christina). All I did in class was the blue sky, and then quit because I thought it was too messed up. Back at home I decided that I may as well finish it, and it is not too bad, but not one of my favorites. The fog in the trees is not very convincing. I missed the following week of class and then decided that I didn't really want to go back, so I'm just going to try to keep painting at home.
