In the news

This weekend I participated in a two-day watercolour workshop, virtually but live, with an award-winning local artist; Michael Solovyev. It was a lovely two days of art learning, with a few "quick practice" sessions. As Michael said, the goal of an art workshop is "to learn new techniques, not to paint a masterpiece".
I had trouble keeping up towards the end of the session each day, as always, because of my 'mild cognitive impairment'. A result of my rare disease, these cognitive issues include concentration, focus, and memory - particularly over sustained periods... like courses and workshops.
If you look closely at my sailboat, you'll notice that the hull and details aren't quite right; this was the last portion of the painting that we approached, and my brain simply wasn't able to process any more information by that point.
Despite that, I'm happy with this one overall; as an 11 x 15" learning experience, rather than as a painting!
