The fantastic Mindy Lacefield was the instructor for Week 15 of Wanderlust 2017. Mindy makes her art look effortless. I love it. As you would expect, the style is not effortless.

Inspired by Mindy’s class I painted my girl with an umbrella. She is a work in progress. For the moment, I have set her to the side; while I work on some other journal pages. I’m a little frustrated with her and I needed some distance before I decide on how to continue. Still, it is a pleasant frustration. A part of my brain thinks about the painting while I go about my ordinary everyday. I love that about painting … time to mull and ponder.
