Painting

I've been taking an oil painting class once a week for the last month or so and have really been enjoying it. I went to art school and did a lot of painting for a few years (I was initially going to major in painting but eventually changed to photography) but I haven't done very much oil painting over the years since then. I am learning things about painting I never learned in art school in the 70's. Like I had never done an underpainting before or worked quite so methodically. Here is my underpainting:




This week (my 5th class) I began painting with color (no pix of that and the painting is in the studio of the painter who is teaching the class). It's been a very slow process, but I've enjoyed the slow pace. We have a couple weeks off for the holiday break and my hope is that I will be able to continue going each week. It depends on what treatment I end up doing. I see one of my doctors tomorrow and another one next Wed. and will see what they recommend. Then A. and I will decide who and where to go for 2nd opinions.
