Before and After

I painted this desert scene awhile back.  I hung it on my wall when I was done.  I wasn't too excited about it when I first finished. I liked it but I just felt like I wasn't done with it yet.  I've left it alone for several week until one day recently I decided I knew what I wanted to do with it.  I wanted to change up the sky.  




I love it now! I love how stormy it looks.  I'm not sure what to call it yet. I had one suggestion of Monsoon and one suggested Desert Sunset.  I like both names, I will decide soon.

That is how it is at times, I paint something and then I'm not sure I'm done with it and let it sit then decide and go from there.

 I work at the best place! I can hand my paintings in a room for all to see here at work.  In return starting this summer I will teach a painting class.  I am very excited for the opportunity, a little nervous but mostly excited!  I have an amazing co-worker/best friend that I also share the wall with and will be teaching painting classes as well.  I will keep you all in the loop of when the classes start and if you are local and would like to join that would be awesome!
