The last session of the water color series at the Senior Center was last Wednesday. A few of the women are younger than I, a number considerably senior. Several will miss the fall session because they are going on cruises with their husbands. I've learned quite a bit since my first class at the Senior Center with Hanlie last spring. I think I'll continue with private lessons with her, and maybe take Tai Chi at the Senior Center, as my daughters suggest. More exercise, Mom!
It amazes me that the more I concentrate on color and focus on the way the paint diffuses on the paper, how fast the time passes. It's like getting lost in a book. Or good heavens, jigsaw puzzles. That's why such activities are called pastimes, I suppose, as in "we passed the afternoon playing cards." That would be Jane Austen, of course.
