And that is the important thing. I love spending time with others, and doing something fun.

Lol! Leave it to me to think it was a bird! I do love the mass of flowers. What fun you must have had! I enjoy painting, but haven't done it in years.

I know, when I look at it I see a bird too. I made the body too large, but wasn't able to fix it.

That makes sense @AnneEJ it's how we learn. I hope you do another one someday, I'll bet it'll turn out just as you want.

Thank you very much. I am sure if I could do another one, I would change some things.

There is nothing to laugh about, you went to the class, you tried, and you should be applauded.

Totally agree with Peter here @pgiblet, I think your butterfly looks a lot more like a butterfly that my attempt would ever do.

Thank you. I am hoping she will have some more classes. It was a lot of fun. There were about 30 of us, so you can imagine how different all the pictures looked.

@marlina One of the girls said she showed her picture to her mother, and she said, "What is it?"

I think your butterfly has potential . . . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - you could even put " The Scream by Edvard Munch. “ to shame.

Thank you, I guess we paint what is in our minds, not necessarily what we see

I think that you did a wonderful job! I can easily make out that its a butterfly and I love the flowers in and around the butterfly, that's a lot of detail.

@AnneEJ I love the way it pops out with the dainty little flowers in the background. A true Picasso in the making!

I guess people would call me a perfectionist, l am too hard on myself. But I know that my creative skills lie elsewhere than painting. I do much better with a needle and thread

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 Improvement comes with practice doesn't it? But I guess talented people don't need so much practice.

Yes, the lady who taught us is very talented. Her son is also. He was sitting beside me and I saw his picture, it was very good. But he has been doing it for a lot of years.
