Last night I had the pleasure of attending a local Women’s Resource Center lecture featuring Christine Andreae, an artist and writer from our community, who gave a fascinating account of her Inanna Project. It is amazing! She shared her wonderful world of woodcut art with us through a Facebook Live interview with Eka Kapiotis (you see them in the photo below) and Christine answered many questions concerning her process. You can read about the project here. And see each woodcut and explanation here. Take a little time to look. It’s extraordinary!
Some say none but other references say he sold just one painting in his lifetime. It was called “The Red Vineyard”.
Here’s what their website says about the film: “Loving Vincent is the world’s first fully painted film. We painted over 65,000 frames on over 1,000 canvases. We shot the film with actors, and literally painted over it frame by frame. This is a very laborious and time-consuming process. It has taken us 4 years to develop the technique, and it took us over 2 years with a team of over 100 painters working at studios in the Polish cities of Gdansk and Wroclaw, and a studio in Athens to complete the film.
We had a nice group making Rag Quilts at The Studio yesterday. Can you believe we made these in less than 3 1/2 hours?! Awesome! Great work ladies. Can’t wait to see how they “rag” out.
We had a busy Saturday at The Studio. First, we had thirteen 9 and 10 year olds for a Birthday Party. We painted UNICORNS.
Then we had a “Paint Your Home” Party where Barbara and Jackie created these beautiful works of art. A couple of other painters had a few more finishing touches they want to do before call it done.
Last night we held a fundraiser for the Phoenix Project. We had a great turnout…and we had a LOT of fun. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a big success for a great organization. 
It’s time to start thinking about making Holiday gifts for family and friends. Here is an easy but elegant scarf you can make for the fashionistas on your list. Join us to learn how to make this one while learning to double crochet and read a pattern. Our class will be on Tuesday, November 7th at 6 pm.
