Famous Painters Party with Mary Cassatt
We had the October Famous Painter Party last night where we reproduced the Mary Cassatt “Lydia in the Garden Crocheting”. Plus we love the little pup sitting in her lap. We had a great time and the painters created beautiful paintings.
The next Famous Painters Party will be Tuesday, November 24th and we will paint a Camille Pissarro still life. Click here to register for it.

Sophia Paints a Pissarro
The last two weeks Sophia and I painted a copy of this Pissarro Still Life during her private lesson. Didn’t she do a fabulous job?

Yesterday I had two Paint Parties back to back. First, we had Pet Portraits – my favorite party! Everyone did beautiful work and have fabulous portraits of their beloved pets now.
The second party was a large group of friends getting together for a fun time and to catch up. They painted a lovely fall landscape scene.
Great work everyone!

When the weather cools I get in the mood to crochet. So I cleaned out a bag of yarn scraps and decided to make a few things that I can donate to the Animal Shelter. These are “Cat Bowls”. LOL At least I hope that cats might like to lay in these little bowls/baskets. And since I didn’t have a cat to try it out I took a photo with my sock dog. You get the idea.

I had an unplanned art lesson on Friday during the Open Studio session at The Studio. My friend, Phil, with Caledonia Bed & Breakfast sent some guests over to paint. This mother and daughter were delightful. We had a nice visit while Hannah painted this marvelous little painting. I hope to see them again when they are visiting our area. Thanks Phil for thinking of The Studio as a destination for these two.
