The very first Paint Party ever at Capon Springs was a HUGE success! The painters were terrific and did a fabulous job creating a beautiful work of art featuring the Band Stand at the Resort.
Capon Springs is an all inclusive family mountain resort …. and while it is only about 32 miles from Front Royal it seems a really long way away. It’s like going back in time. I told my friend who went last night to help with the Paint Party that it is “32 miles and 6 decades away”! It’s wonderful. You can learn more about it here. We had a grand time enjoying dinner there before the Paint Party. It was delightful to see all these multi-generational families sitting together passes plates and bowls of food around the table and having conversations while dining. I am thrilled that Jonathan, one of the owners of this gem, has invited me to come back and teach again.
I’ll be back for another Paint Party and we will also be offering a multi disciplined Art Week in the Fall. Stay tuned for more info soon. You will definitely want to plan to go for a few days.
I made a day trip to Boston yesterday (yes, it’s a long way for a day trip) to see the Matisse exhibit. What an amazing display!!! I admit that I am a BIG fan of Matisse. But anyone who appreciates art and creating it would love this exhibit.
Enjoy!
I particularly love the things at “Epicurean Boutique”. Patty Vatter had the most glorious patterns for handwork. You need to check her out on Facebook to catch her next show.
Michele has been working on this gorgeous abstract painting for a couple of weeks at class. Sometimes we all need to paint an abstract to loosen up and get our creative juices flowing. That is what Michele did and it turned out amazing. Great work!
Here is another Bird Nest that I you voted on what you all wanted to do soon the Bird Nest got high numbers. I hope you’ll join us on July 16th.
