That frees me from trying to produce a work of art. Instead I just create and am present each moment that I am creating. During class, I have giggled, cried, and on occasion had strange conversations with my paintings, but whatever else happens, I am present with the paint, the paper, the color and most importantly with myself. Angela's teaching is wonderful and through this **process I have expressed and learned so much about my heart, mind and creative spirit. And it's always a lot of fun!!!" * *~Linda R* *September/October Schedule *(*click the class time you prefer for a payment link*): *Mondays 5:30-8:00PM* <https://buy.stripe.com/bJecN6gfx1q042eezR4ow0g> 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, (no class 10/6), 10/13, +Bonus class on 10/20! *OR* *Fridays 9:30AM-12PM* <https://buy.stripe.com/3cI9AU1kD9WwcyK2R94ow0f> 9/19, 9/26, (no class 10/3), 10/10, 10/17, +Bonus class on 10/24! ***Classes meet in a private Ruston/North Tacoma location - address will be given to those who sign up!*** Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this or any of Painted Crow's offerings, by emailing me at paintedcrowstudio@gmail.com. 💜 Angela [image: me.jpg] -- Angela Wales Artist Master Facilitator of Intuitive Painting & the Expressive Arts https://www.angelawalesart.com/ Painted Crow Expressive Arts <https://paintedcrowstudio.jimdoweb.com/>
