<\/p>\nI hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. I’m enjoying some beach time, and was able\u00a0to spend a little time at one of my favorite places on earth, Gurnet Creek.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m working on an oil painting of Bug Light for my brother\u00a0that offers a lot of challenges since I don’t work in that medium often. One thing is true, being open to stepping out of our comfort zone is enriching, and we never stop learning new things!<\/p>\n
Jump in to week 4 or 5 if you like.<\/p>\n
