Painting take 2

I attended another painting class, this time was family time, no sangria, in the middle of the day, open to 10 and up. My oldest (19) and I went together. The piece was "horse of a different color".
I did go my own way (again) with the colors. I am a bit critical of my background being way to dark for my liking and for the finish.
Original is on left, mine on the right.

Here's a blurry picture of the two of us :)

I did try to follow suit with the big swirl mane but after the first one (upper right) I just couldn't keep going it wasn't my style I have noticed I'm more of the thin swoop rather than the thick curl....

Peacock painting

Local to me we have Art Bash Studio.

Sign up for the (class) art piece of choice, gather as a group-come together or all strangers, drink sangria, paint along with instructor, no skill level needed/required. 

A few weeks ago I caught wind of an event to get local ladies together for a meet & greet while painting & drinking.

I signed up hoping to meet new people and to try out the painting.
I really like the Peacock piece that they were attending.

I have never painted on a canvas like this, as a child I drew and drew well into my teens but that's it, nothing out of me in 20 years.

So here ya go, inspirational piece on left & my version is on the right side.
