The young artists did a fabulous job on their poppy paintings yesterday. We had a little “test” to be sure they are remembering some of the things I tell them in class and they all did a terrific job. I so glad that what I teach is sticking with them. Great job everyone!!!

Gustav Klimt
Mada Primavesi

Gustav Klimt is an artist that we don’t see often enough. You may recognize his style. His most famous painting “The Kiss” is one that many people know. This painting is one I saw at the Met recently. It is Mada Primavesi, painted in 1912. She was the daughter of a banker and industrialist and the actress Eugenia Primavesi whom he painted in 1913.

Yesterday at Kid’s class we had a great time painting something a little more challenging than usual. But the kids jumped right in and did a great job. We painted from this cute photo of my godson Chase with his dog Rue! They are waiting at the door for their dad to come home. Could he be any more cute?

Great job everyone!

I got to paint with my young friend, Kaylee, yesterday for the first time in quite a while. She used to paint with me every week so I have missed seeing her. We had a nice visit while she painted this beautiful piece for her great-grandmother Edna who she will be visiting in a few weeks. I know that she will love this thoughtful gift. Nice job Kaylee!

Students Paint Great!

The Thursday kids class painted a beautiful local landscape with a fence and gate in the foreground. They are fantastic! Good job everyone.

And I am sad to say that I will no longer be working with the wonderful ladies at the Southerlands. They have discontinued their art program. I will miss all the fun we have had. Here is Miss Gaylor with the last painting I helped her paint. I will miss them.
