Did a little Plein Aire painting this morning... in over my head... clearly... but I won't get better at it if I don't do it now will I?

This is the candy dish, I assembled yesterday, fused this morning and will slump into a candy dish tonight. I really like how this turned out.

Enameling and Pottery classes were going on in this building. The painting studio is a lovely new modern building... not nearly as photogenic as these buildings.

Sorry for my fans, no Journal page today, probably won't get to post them until Saturday. The printer/scanner refuses to work because it has an empty ink cartridge... the fact that scanning requires no ink... does not compute for this stupid machine.... oh well... my camera works still... Here's a few of the 50 pictures I took Wednesday.
One horse proved to be a ham for the camera, the other two were too busy eating.

Long day today.... I brought my easel, my paints... tons of stuff... but I've been too pooped from 8 hours of class every day to do much except my journal. Bought some great rocks tonight at the auction, hoping to take a Cabochon class next year and use the rocks I just bought.
