The 15th thing I learned again in 2024 -- I love my art group

I love painting with my art group.  They are such inspiring, kind, 
funny artists. Our group happens every Tuesday evening in 
Forest Hill Collegiate -- the art space for both the Forest Hill
Art Club and the Don Valley Art Club. And it is so fun.

I am a very slow painter, but with the group my husband drops
me off at 7:30 and picks me up an hour later.  I set up. There
are breaks, I paint, then I take down my easel and table, and clean
up, and get a painting in that hour.  Inspired by the artists,
and the model. 

I think I might have had 30 minutes to do this painting sketch,
and I like it. Thank you to my art group for another year of
super inspiration.  Your work is beautiful, and I learn 
something every time I paint for such a short time with
you.

Have a loving your life day.
