On Wednesday we have Kids Painting Class at The Studio. Yesterday at class the kids painted lovely butterfly and flower paintings. Great work everyone!
And then as a special surprise one of our adult art class members brought her little one with her to class. She was a big hit….super cute and she went around and told each painter what a great job they were doing and how much she liked their paintings. Adorable!

Happy Birthday Frank Lloyd Wright! “He was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures, 532 of which were completed. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called “the best all-time work of American architecture”. Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years.” You can see more here about my 2011 visit to Fallingwater here.
Read more about Wright here. And take a look here at what is listed as his 20 most beautiful houses.
He designed furniture as well as stain glass that were all works of art.

From time to time we have a “make-up” day at Kids Art Class so that they can choose a painting they may have missed at regular class. We did that this week and take a look at the wonderful art these kids created as a result!

I start a LOT of paintings as demonstration pieces at Paint Parties but because I try to spend time helping the painters at the party complete their paintings I don’t always have time to go back and complete the one I started. Yesterday I had a little time to work on one I started last week at our “Finger Painting” Party and develop it further. The photo on the right is how it looked at the end of the Paint Party. The shot on the left is where I took the painting. This one is and acrylic, 16″x20″ on canvas and is available for purchase at The Studio.
