AN EXPERIMENT IN PAINTING

Lately I've been having a serious craving to make some ART.  I mean, I seriously want to go down to the art store today {if only my bank account would cooperate} and invest a couple hundred dollars in oil paints, brushes and canvas and just see what happens.  {how much would a beginning set up even cost? what exactly would I need?}  Well - add it to my list for 2011:  An experiment in painting.  Though this has really been a "to-do" since my drawing classes back in college, in the last week a few things have renewed my interest...

these Butterfly paintings from Anthropologie (a fun concept to try to recreate) and basically all of the art I see in the photographs of interior spaces that I scour daily:



the French film Seraphine:


Does anyone know of an oil painting class in the Bay Area that would be great for a beginner?  Here's to new creative endeavors!
