Fuzzy-headed, but here

These are two of my paintings from waterclor class. We had to go outside on campus and draw landscapes to paint. I drew two sketches and worked on the painting in the classroom, because it was hot and the mosquitoes were out in force. I was not done when I left, so I worked on it a little more at home. I still have some work to do, but I am fairly happy with them, especially the big one with the lamp post. I mean, I don't think they are great, but I think they are a nice start. I am very new to this after all. There is just one more watercolor class left, but I am just starting to get a feel for how it all works.





I took the advice of many of you and filed a complaint with American Express. The vendor finally agreed to refund my money, minus shipping, but since I was not exactly feeling trusting, I let the claim stand. She has been so vile and her email rants have been so telling, yet I was hoping she would do the right thing. Of course when PayPal contacted her about the chargeback, she sent me a crazy note telling me that I still owed her for shipping. I wrote back pointing out that she had my $158 for almost three months and the merchandise...and I would cancel my complaint when she refunded my money. She has not responded, nor has she refunded my money.

I have been home sick for a few days, with a raging sinus headache that turned into a migraine. The Zomig seems to have helped a little, but I still feel wonky. It is not a big deal; I am sure I will start to feel better soon. I seem to get sick whenever I push myself to the extreme, which I certainly have been doing for the last few weeks! I have one more trip to the coast before my last day. I have exactly one week left. I am really looking forward to having free time. I have been so photo-phobic that I have not been able to stitch.
