LJ and NJ

As i noted in the post i just published, there were no classes for a month.  And the rules for the Monday class are that students are told NOT to work at home on paintings that are being studied in class.  So the only update i have on the “pumpkin” painting is from class, which resumed yesterday.  The canvas is small and there is a lot of detail in this one, so I’m getting quite a bit of practice with small brushes and working in small areas.  Most of my time yesterday was spent trying to paint the grass in areas around the pumpkins.  This was pretty tedious and i soon tired of it; so switched back to working on the pumpkins and the wagon.  all still very preliminary, but should pick up in the next couple of weeks.
