Usually, I like to highlight other people's talents but I promised Trinity I would post my painting when I finally finished. I come from a family of artists. I was always the writer not the painter. I have to say that I may have been selling myself short. I really love art. I just can't always afford everyone else's art. So I practically begged Cali Grimshaw for lessons, which she so graciously gave me. I could never have painted this without her guidance and superb teaching. I learned more on my first day of painting then I did in all of my years of highschool art class. I have so much to learn still but I am so grateful for this painting. I can't believe I did it and that I am not embarrassed to hang it in my house. I'm so excited to explore this new talent and I already have my next two projects planned out, with Cali's help of course. I will never tell myself I can't do something again. I'm even trying to bake bread again and we all know my terrible bread making history.Thursday, September 4, 2008
Talented Thursday -My First Painting

Wow1 That is pretty awesome. Calli must be a fantastic teacher after seeing both yours and Trinity's paintings and hearing you both say you are not artists! Does she teach you one on one, or in class setting? I would love to do it. Also, Geoff wanted me to ask you about the peaches or pear order. We weren't at church so I don't know if you announced it or not. Call me if you would rather. Thanks
Wow Rachelle. That is really good! I am super impressed. Way to go! I wish I had artistic talent. I am so grateful to have married someone with it so that hopefully our children will be more artistic than me.
Gorgeous! I'm so excited for you. That will look amazing in your home. I can't wait to come see it framed and hung.
That is amazing!!! I am so happy for you to have such a beautiful, OBVIOUS talent. I can't even paint by numbers and make it recognizable. CONGRATULATIONS!!
Wow Rachelle, you give me hope, you give me hope.
Rachelle, that is completely amazing! Keep up the great work. And if your ever bored...paint one for me! I'll hang it in my house, I promise!
No one who painted that can possibly say "I'm not a painter."...And who used to sketch me each week in YM? Oh, how I loved that!
That is amazing. Both you and Trintiy have a wonderful new talent that I hope you continue with.
Yikes! How beautiful is that Rachelle? What a talent you have found!! I am truly impressed!
Wowsers!
