And, today's STAR...alcohol inks!

Well, Betty created quite a stir with her alcohol inks at yesterday's painting session.  She was experimenting with using them on Yupo and, as you can see, the effects were stunning.   One more exciting, fun, way to create!

A few brave souls ventured out yesterday morning, determined not to let the weather interfere with painting.  Although not in the photos, but definitely present, were Betty and Pat.  We got a lot accomplished in the time allotted and look forward to getting together next month to see where our imaginations and creativity might take us.
