This summer, I had a few firsts. I enjoyed being part of my first exhibit along with selling my first painting – the one exhibited! And I got to the second round during a bocce tournament.

I painted another painting at a class during my week off. It was part of a class held at the beach club I belong to. I wish I could have taken more classes, but work had beckoned.

I enjoy painting in my little studio at home; however, it’s great to be part of a class. So many artists each with their own unique talent. We encourage each other, appreciate each other’s talent. And we had an art show. Members of the beach club enjoyed looking at the culmination of our talents.

It still feels weird to call myself an artist; I am blessed with the talent, the opportunity, and my first sale!

Summers go so fast – and I always miss them terribly!
