2009

While I never took another art class in high school, I continued to paint on my own. I didn't have a lot of time, but painted when I could. A wonderful watercolorist and friend, Jane Bush (janepaint.blogspot.com), took me under her wing at this time. I took a few day-long workshops from her that year: fall colors, November colors, and Portraits. 

While nothing produced this year was exceptional in terms of quality or composition, I learned a lot in terms of basics of watercolor, materials, and colors. I studied the colors of the seasons and months. In fact, this year, I was told that I had an 'eye for color', which I was proud of and have tried to maintain. I positively love bright, vivid color. Unfortunately, most all of these pictures from this year are scanned, and the color and quality is diminished.

No tome ninguna clase de arte despues de la que tome en 2008, pero pintaba siempre. No tenia mucho tiempo, pero lo hacia cuando podia. Una amiga y artista maravillosa, Jane Bush (janepaint.blogspot.com) me enseno y ayudo bastante en este tiempo. Tome unos talleres de ella para aprender mas de los colores del otono, los colores de noviembre y retratos.
Nada que pinte esta ano salio muy bien, aprendi mucho, especialmente en cuanto a los colores. Estudiaba bastante los colores de las temporadas del ano. En este ano, un maestro me dijo que tenia buen ojo para escoger los colores... estaba orgullosa de esto, jeje y he intentado mantener ese talento. Desafortunadamente, casi todas las obras de 2009 son escaneadas... no tomadas por camara, entonces no parecen como deben.
