An Adventure in Daily Painting

Today's Project...

Dragonfly

Mondays have become my favorite day of the week because of my art class in daily painting.  Today we counted the amount of brushstrokes it took to paint a simple object.  The first time it took 155 strokes, then we had to do it in 25 strokes and then we were allowed to finish our paintings as we saw fit.  I found the class challenging but learned that I spent too much time making sure the dragonfly was accurate rather than creating beautiful strokes of color.  I finished the painting with dabs of color rather than scientific micro line work, so I guess I learned something :-)
