Art Class, at the Childhood Home of Emily Carr

The childhood home of Emily Carr, in Victoria BC, was built in 1963.

My son and I spent three wonderful Wednesday mornings studying the art of watercolor painting with an amazing group of like-minded people.

Cherry blossoms….

“To look into the heart of the cherry tree when it was blossoming was a marvel almost greater than one could bear. Millions and millions of tiny white bells trembling, swaying, too full of white holiness to ring.” Emily Carr

Tulips and tiny buds.

There are so many skills and techniques to discover!

Delicate macaroons..

Enjoying beautifully decorated macaroons, a delicious treat prepared for us by our instructor, Helga Strauss’s mom, and fellow artist.

After today’s class to Beacon Hill Park, where we painted for another two hours.
