When Alannah came to Art Camp this summer she fell in love with my Tulip Palette Knife painting.  She wanted to buy it for her room but instead we talked her into taking a lesson to do one of her own.  And she did an excellent job yesterday painting with a palette knife for the first time.  Great work girl!

Yesterday I got to paint at Burnside Sunflower Farm in Haymarket.  What a treat to get to paint in plein air.

The place was really busy since it was a holiday but it was still lots of fun.   Here are some scenes from the farm along with the paintings I started.  They are about 85% done and I’ll finish them in the studio this week.

A week or so ago I posted about a new crochet stitch I had been doing that looks a lot like knit.  (See that post here.) It makes a beautiful fabric.  I’ve tried it in a couple of different size  yarns and I like it in all of them.  Several folks said they’d love to learn this one so we will have a class at The Studio on  October 10th.  Be sure to click here to register and join in.  Minimal crochet experience required.

I started working on a large landscape yesterday based on a photo I took at Belle Grove recently.  I got a good start but have some fine tuning to do to make it work for a paint party.  I’ve been asked to have a Paint Party with a LARGE landscape painting. I’ll share the finished version hopefully in the next day or two.

Crocheting is a terrific hobby to develop.  I learned as a young child from my grandmother who was patient enough to teach a curious young girl.  And I’m glad she was because I have made hundreds of items over the years.  It is something I can do for a few minutes in between other things or I can sit for hours and crochet.  That is the beauty of it.  You can pick it up and put it down without any  preparation or clean-up.  And you can take most of it anywhere to do.  Stick it in a bag and crochet while in a waiting room or on a long car ride.  I LOVE IT!  If it’s time for you to learn then be sure to come to The Studio later this month and get in on the fun. We will learn to make an infinity scarf.  Click here  for more information and to register.
