The Studio sponsored a fundraiser for Miracle Kid Noelle on Saturday night. And boy, did we have a good time. We had a terrific turn-out and created some lovely paintings. You can learn more about Noelle here. I met her last summer when she attended art camp. She loved painting! What’s not to love?! And she shares my love of Bob Ross. LOL! We are wishing only good things for this young painter.

Last night at our Adult’s Art Class we all decided to get loose and paint abstracts. Thanks Marie for the push! It was great fun. We watched a short Bobblast video for inspiration…we love Bob Burridge! And off we went, painting away. This is my Big Bird…. a representational abstract piece. It was fun!

Ten years ago today I started my blog, Life of a Daily Painter. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Last year for the anniversary post I share a look back. (See that here.) This year I just want to say how grateful I am to have people still following along to see what we are doing at The Studio. The boys and I thank you so much! Let’s see what this next year brings.

Here are more works by David Hockney that we saw at the exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City this week.
It was an interesting exhibit as we saw the way his art transformed over the years.
And you can see the scope of some of the work. It was an interesting exhibit.
