A Masterpiece?

Last Thursday night we had a painting class at our church. We have a very talented artist in our group, and she agreed to show us some techniques.
Yesterday, I got an e-mail with this picture that was taken of my finished work. It does not look quite like the one we were trying to imitate, but we had fun doing it. I don't intend to try and sell it, that's for sure. Some of the children did a much better job than I did.
It was fun to learn what colours to mix together and how to apply them to make different effects on the canvas. Amazing what we can do when we have a good teacher and are willing to follow instructions.
So, laugh if you want, but this really is a butterfly (in my eyes).

Not only do you have the picture, and the picture of you with the picture, you also have the good memories of the evening with friends.

It is lovely and you should hang it in your home with pride. One of our daughters is a teacher, but she initially was an art major in college. She loves to go to these types of events and create works of art.

@AnneEJ - If that is your first try, that is pretty darn good, I think!

I think you did a great job and certainly a lot better than I would have done.
