"Where's Mama?"
This litte bear cub was exploring near the Rouge River in Oregon.
Vivian is now working on another little bear cub found sleeping on a tree limb. Vivian will be moving to Portland soon, so I hope we will get to see the her finished painting and share it with you. Our class will miss her greatly, and we wish her lots of fun and happiness in her new home. |

I have been taking lessons from Shirley for about a year. She has taught me to see the smallest detail. That is the real joy of painting for me. Not only to see more beauty around me, but to learn how to mix colors and transfer that beauty to canvas to enjoy in my home on a daily basis or to give away. Jeri |

Kim started painting with us last year…then took time
off for a few months to get married and adjust to her new life.
Her employer gave her Monday afternoons off so she could come
back and paint with us again. This is about her third painting.
I think she gets her art talent from her grandmother (Elsie
Sharp). Very nice painting Kim! |
