Summer and Fall Classes at SLCC

I am now registered for an begining oil painting class this summer at Salt Lake Community College for the summer.  This fall I will be doing a head studies oil painting class.  I can't wait.  I already have my oil paints and have been experimenting.

I really like how easy it is to paint all at once and not wait for the paint to dry in areas; like watercolor paints take.  I bought some mineral oil and have been thinnning down the thick paint with it. 

I painted a portrait of my niece and intend to enter it for the Nami art show.  In the painting she is only a year and a half old.  I finished the cupid's daughter painting size 18 x 24 inches, done in watercolor painting.
The last entry I will do is of a wavy color abstract painting I call Moody Blues.
