Summer Time Part 2



 The beginning of the summer my camera broke! I was so sad and sick to my stomach since I loved that thing. I've told myself my next camera I was going to upgrade to a professional one but we didn't have the funds for that. Well to make a long story short and me going back and forth, I waited two months till we had the funds and I purchased a REALLY nice camera, it's so nice I'm still learning how to use it, and the camera is so good it shows imperfection even more-- and I need to get better, so I'm excited to keep learning and growing in photography. These three pictures were the first few pictures I took trying to figure it out. It was so nice to have a camera after two months of not having one.

End of July Dustin and I went to South Dakota to study art under Thomas Fluharty for a week. It was awesome! First thing, South Dakota is gorgeous and I had no idea!

It was also great to just spend time plein air painting and just drawing all day. We would work on stuff then Tom would give us feedback and he had so much knowledge and he gave me many good pointers to help move me up to the next level in art. We also got to spend time with his wife, Kristi, she was amazing. It was such a great week, they became instant family. We had a lot of good discussions of art and deep discussions about God and our Savior, it was just "stinkin' cool" as Thomas Fluharty would say.
