Last day of art class and I missed it!

So today was the last day of my two-block beginning watercolor class that I took at Saddleback college. And I missed it. I ended up having to work late (that's every day this week--I better take a half day on Friday!) and I couldn't find an umbrella... so rather face the embarrassment of being way late and completely soaked... I decided to come home and reflect on the fun I had in my class and the paintings I did. We did about two-dozen paintings during the class--while a lot of my fellow classmates stuck to scenic french landscapes and old barns, I found a love of drawing poppies (no I'm not a druggie) which I recreated off of drawings I found online. Here are a few samples of my work...as you can see I've come a long way... and yet still have a long way to go. I'm having fun and it was all inspired by Russ, who, for our fifth year anniversary bought me an easel and paint set. I'm planning on taking the oil painting class in February--I even asked Santa for all of my painting supplies.
