I greatly enjoyed the art class focusing on Van Gogh. Jia talked about Van Gogh's life and chose several of his works for us to study and then sketch. At the end, we used what we had learned to create an artwork of our own in the style of Van Gogh. I found the class to be very well-organized and quite interesting. Jia is a good teacher and facilitator. I will continue to take her classes as she is a good instructor with a lot of knowledge to offer.

I really enjoyed the pottery in the park class. The teacher knows a lot about pottery and was able to clearly pass her knowledge and guidance along to her students. I found the two projects we did to be unique and fun. The location is ideal and I found it very fun to be able to take a class outside.

Let's learn and improve together!

A fascination of this mysterious and highly intelligent creature came about after watching the Netflix documentary , My Octopus Teacher. Soon after I began working with resin art and found this octopus mold. This was one of my favorite creations using alcohol inks and mica powders in resin.

Title or Location: He?e and Leho
The title for this piece is Hee and Leho. The technique I used is one of my own and this is the first piece I did it with. The focus of this piece was the Hee or Octopus coming out of it's hunting spot and pouncing on a Leho or Hawaiian Tiger Cowrie Seashell it's the Hee favorite food. I did the watercolor wash in an abstract way and the main idea was creation of a sponge or reef system and the Hee peering out of it. It's a technique developed some 15 years ago.

My art journey with Grace has been an incredible experience. She was originally intended to be a quick study of a white horse done in soft pastel. Little did I know, my vision was failing. I had developed cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration which all seriously compromised my vision and my color perception. I found myself struggling with proportions and balance which ultimately caused me to go to the eye doctor. My treatments have been successful and despite the many prior errors I was
