Painting

Judy started painting in the 1980’s and has taken as many art lessons as she could fit into her busy schedule as a hairdresser. She said she started watching Bob Ross on television and from that point on she started taking lessons in Pensacola, Florida. She has taken from Priscilla Houser and One Stroke Painting. Most recently she attended painting classes from Pat Reynolds, licensed in Evergreen, Alabama, who teaches Bill Alexander classes.

Judy thoroughly enjoys the “magic of art and the creativity of the brush” because it is very relaxing. She said that it makes all of her problems go out the window.

In the past, Judy says she has crotched Afghans, done tole painting and folk art.
