In May, I began taking Acrylic Painting classes. I was nervous because I’m at a very beginner level. The first painting was Irises. The colors match my bedroom colors perfectly – purple and gray.

I had promised my mom last year that I would send her a painting of flowers. She had seen some flower paintings at her doctor’s office and wanted some for her house. I sent her the Iris painting. Using a digital copy, I had a Giclee printing made of the painting that came out pretty good, so I put it in a matted frame and hung it on the wall in our living room. Both of us have the painting now and everybody is happy.
