If you have read my blog for awhile, you may remember seeing occasional references to a friend whom I call “The Captain”. She is exploring oil painting as a new hobby, and she requested my assistance. Naturally, I said YES!
I traveled the 2 hours and 7 minutes to her house (could have been shorter and more stressful but I chose the rural roads instead of the freeways) so that we could spend time painting together. The plan was for 4 people in a 2 day workshop but the other 3 bailed. (What?? Am I a scary teacher?) The Captain and I were able to concentrate and learn and catch up on life, and in the end, she had a wonderful 8×8″ oil painting of a pomegranate.

I’m impressed! Good job, Captain!
Thank you, Nikki! I will pass that along. . .
Jana, you are a fantastic teacher! That is a very good painting. By the way, somehow I lost the group you listed as something like “my outside garden” that had the beautiful blue iris in it. I was trying to save it in my data base, and somehow it went to an unknown location. My fingers are to blame. Anyway I would love to have that sent to me again, if you wouldn’t mind, I would like to print it out and try to paint it. I have always painted the full bloom iris in watercolor, but not the smaller ones. Thank you, Janet
Hi Janet,
Thank you for your nice comments! I will email you the photo of the small iris and would enjoy seeing your translation to paint in your inimitable style.
