2011: Expanding Horizons

So far, year 2011 has been pretty eventful in terms of art. I am gaining speed as I continue to grow in my art. This year has pushed me in so many different directions that have each taught me something new. Four years after starting his class, I continue to take lessons from Dan Thornhill. If you get a chance, you should check him out as well at Dan Thornhill Studio Art.
