We had a really fun Paint Party at North Fork Resort and Campground last night. We painted the wonderful view of the Shenandoah River that they see right there at the North Fork of the river.
Everyone did a GREAT job! Can’t wait to paint with this group again. Thanks Patty for setting this up.

We had a huge turn out for the Chamber of Commerce’s Business After Hours at The Studio last night. Lots of networking, laughing and of course, creating.
We had two free “Make & Take” projects for people to try. FUN!
Thanks everyone for coming out to celebrate The Studio and thanks Java Media and Janet Michael for co-sponsoring this event with us.
Take a look at The Studio calendar and join us for a class or workshop soon.

The family and friends of Pat Windrow honored her this past weekend by unveiling a memorial at the Town Commons in Front Royal. Pat was an artistic force of nature in Front Royal. She painted amazing murals on several buildings around town – both inside and out. Since her passing we are all hoping that these will be maintained by the owners of the buildings. They are irreplaceable.
The memorial that was dedicated features wonderful images of some of Pat’s beautiful floral paintings. It’s a fitting way to honor this creative woman.

Yesterday I helped a delightful group of women from the Conservation Research Center paint their pets. And paint they did! Each one did a fabulous job painting their dogs and cats. They look great.
They said they will be back soon to paint some of the wonderful animals they work with at the CRC. Can’t wait for that!
