It was a fun and relaxing way to spend a few hours, especially during these crazy times. Here’s the finished project: Instructions This is how I…

Abstract Painting Earlier this month I had the pleasure of taking art classes at Art & Soul Retreat in Virginia. It was delightful, and I thought I'd share one of my paintings today. I made this in a class taught by Jacqueline Sullivan. Out of respect for her, I won't share the technique. I'll just say that I enjoyed every moment of it.
