The time since I last made an entry has been a busy time.  I thought that after the first of the year, my schedule would be lighter.  Not so!  My calendar for 2008 already has a lot of entries.  I am excited about the things on my schedule.  I have 2, and possibly 3, porcelain portrait painting workshops scheduled.  One painting I will do will be from the portrait of me in my student nurse uniform when I was a junior, about 20 years of age.

I have wanted to take classes or workshops in watercolors and acrylics.  I especially want to learn to do watercolors.  Helga Flower from Michigan will be here in April for a watercolor workshop and I am privileged to be scheduled as a participant. 

Another event on my calendar is the 50 year reunion of my nursing graduating class.  Most of the girls I have not seen since the day of our graduation.  I married one year after graduation and have always lived in a different state.    

The temperature yesterday was 68 F and today it got up to 74 F.  Of course, that means that with a cold front moving in tonight, we have tornado warnings.

Easter comes early this year – March 23.  I must get some porcelain Easter eggs painted.  Here is a picture of the top view of one that I painted last year.

Here is a picture of the side view.
