Two art classes in the spring of 09

I'm taking two art classes at College of Marin. It's reminding me that I actually have talent and strengths in something and for some reason I was mislead enough to forget that and fail to practice those strengths everyday. Ah, such is life.
Rant aside- one is an abstract class in acrylics on Thursdays and one is watercolor basics on Saturdays. I have to say that after all my training, the most that I need is in committing and growing patience for, the art of creating a whole piece.
So! From here on, I'll post either all or just my faves from each class... if I'm lazy, which I usually am, I will just say a word, if I'm excited about it, you'll get a rant!
But let me start by saying these two teachers are great in very different ways!
