For the past two Mondays we have been Paper Painting at The Studio with Denise Kupiszewski of The Mud Peddler Studio in Shepherdtown, WV. She is an amazing clay artist as well as paper artist. We love it when she comes to town. We all had a great time learning to paint with torn and cut paper as well as decorative elements. I love my Wine themed painting. She’ll be coming back soon to offer more fun projects at The Studio.

This weekend was Art in the Barn at Belle Grove in Middletown. I was invited to submit a few paintings (one sold, WooHoo!) and to demonstrate on Saturday. I was set up in the barn that morning and worked on a floral for a few minutes but I kept looking at the scene in front of me….out the door of the barn and I loved what I saw so I switched and worked on a smaller painting of the little scene out front. I got quite a bit done and will finish it in The Studio. You should go to Belle Grove if you get a chance. It’s beautiful there. I’ll be going back soon to paint again.
