Anyone who has seen the show "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross on a PBS station will appreciate the title of this entry. I have always loved to watch that show, and I have always wanted to paint like that. Well, this weekend was my chance! The local recreation department was offering a Bob Ross painting class, and the title of the painting was "Northern Lights." I had never done anything like this, and I just couldn't resist! I have posted a picture of my finished painting. The instructor had frames there to sell, and for $35, he would frame your painting on the spot. Not a bad price for framing, and the best part of that was that I could come right home and hang it on the wall immediately -- safe from the cats (and the assorted cat hairs!) I am hooked! I can't wait to take another one of these oil painting classes! But never fear, no matter how many paintings I do, I will never give up on my first love -- knitting! Speaking of which, I have finished up the first ball of Unikat on my poncho and the colors are simply AWESOME! I ordered a 3rd ball of the yarn from Roxi as I am fearful that I will not have enough to finish. For some reason, I often use more than the pattern calls for. Even if I do have enough to finish, that will just mean that I have a lush and full fringe! Or a hat to match! It's all good! Hope you are having a Happy Halloween weekend!
