Famous Painters Party  with Mary Cassatt

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.

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!

wpid-wp-1445004640272.jpg wpid-wp-1445004640709.jpgWhen 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.

20151009_123514-1I 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.
