Palette Knife painting is not as easy as it looks. Try making art look like something just using a knife! It ain’t that easy as 15 people found out yesterday at The Studio. But the challenge didn’t deter them. They all came up with some amazing paintings at our Palette Knife Party. Great work everyone! Now that was fun!
The next fun class at The Studio is tomorrow night for our Famous Painter Party. Click here to see it and register.

At least a couple of times a week I have people say “how much fun your job must be” and I always agree. It is fun being a painter! I love it. It seems carefree and easy. And some days it is. But I am often like that duck in the water seeming calm and floating along on the top of the water and peddling my legs off underneath! The peddling involves staying ahead of the Paint Parties and commissions. Just coming up with ideas or developing an idea that clients have and painting them in a way that will be simple so we can use them for a 2 – 3 hour paint party takes time. I enjoy it but some days I have to paint a LOT to keep up. This past week I did just that. Here are some of the paintings that I’ve worked up for upcoming events. JUST PAINT!!!!

One of the things that we do at The Studio is to stay ahead of the calendar by painting ideas for upcoming events. In October we will be helping with a fundraiser for the Phoenix Project. Here are two we came up with and they have picked the Yellow Door. This will be coming up on Friday, October 13th. Watch for the chance to register soon.

I took a few reference photos while out on the Route 11 Yard Crawl yesterday. You never know what you might see from cats in a window to a barn quilt and old Dodge truck!

Here are two versions of the same painting that we did for a Team Building Paint Party today for teachers of LFK. We’ll be curious to see how many want summer…and how many prefer fall! What about you?
