Tony was a very qualified teacher and I'd be interested in a classroom instruction. Since we were in different rooms of the museum, Tony would travel around checking on us and helping us. I wished more time would have been spent instructing.

The sunsets at Pismo Beach in February were beautiful. I have painted 5 sunset pictures since then because they are so much fun to paint. I decided I needed to paint on bigger canvases so this is the largest at 18x24?.

Title or Location: Busy Bee
My first colored pencil drawing from the Bonny Snowdon Academy. I just started using colored pencils 6 months ago and this little fella caught my eye. I love the challenge of the different techniques colored pencils require on different surfaces. Pastelmat, Polychromos, and photo credit from Pexels.
