I am taking a class called Mixed Media Workshop online at My Creative Classroom. It is a four week class taught by Catherine Matthews-Scanlon. I completed my first assignment this morning. I have started trying to fill the wall in our corner den with a bit of my art work, and this is the second of 12 planned canvases. I am trying to chronicle the first year of our big upheaval and remake of our lives. We moved from a nice town on the Hudson River in NY to a very small Ohio town. We bought a silly contemporary modern house, buried in 4 acres of trees. This canvas commemorates the wonder of the first night spent in this house. We moved from a small raised ranch to a house with soaring ceilings,stone fireplaces and two story windows. There are more windows than walls! Anyway, on the first night we slept on the floor in the den on a pile of scavenged blankets-my husband my daughter and me. It was a full moon, very auspicious, and we were mesmorized by the silvery moonlight behind the soaring trees. We cannot forget that night! It was truly magical.
