Yesterday, I participated in part I of a two part art class taught by Anneli Pendley.  Anneli is a local artist involved with the Redlands Conservancy.  As part of their fundraiser, she graciously offered the class to interested parties. There were six of us in all, and the day turned out to be fun as well as educational.  We went from learning basic color theory to drawing with chalk. I have never worked with chalk, so it was  a great learning experience for me. Anneli also served a wonderful lunch which we ate out on her sunny patio.   Here is a photo of our little group:

And here are the two drawings I completed:

They are both of local canyons with orange trees to the front.
