This week at our regular weekly art classes we had several painters finish the pieces. And they all did great work! I love that at our weekly classes each painter is working on whatever they like….I get to see some wonderful art that way. We have Nancy with her Geraniums from a photo taken on a trip; Cecilia and her elephants; and Catherine with her daughter’s Boxer. Beautiful work ladies!
Kid’s Paintings Are Amazing

The kids who come to The Studio to paint do an amazing job. Take a look at Caleb’s Crow and Sophia and Joey’s Wolves. Terrific! I am always asked if they really do these paintings themselves….and yes, they do! Since we only have an hour I often sketch their canvas so they can get right to the painting when they arrive. I think they do so well because they are not afraid to put paint on canvas. They’ll try everything and they pick up mixing colors very quickly. Great works are being created at The Studio. Why do you have your kids join us? Learn more about our art classes here.

For Caleb’s second lesson he asked to paint a bird. Here is his little chickadee! His siblings wanted their photo made with him. 🙂 Great job Caleb!
Here’s Rudolph! He’s made of paper and paint just like our Frosty the Snowman piece we recently posted. (See it here.)
Be sure to register here for the Snowman class coming up on Tuesday, November 15th.

We painted a Crow yesterday with the kids. They did a great job and now have a Halloween decoration for their homes.
Apple Blossom the Opossum

This is the final photos from the fundraiser for The Blue Ridge Wildlife Center. (I promise.)
I don’t know why I got so many photos of Apple Blossom, the opossum but I did. Maybe because she was very cute…or maybe because she was so photogenic. Anyway, here she is in all her glory.
Seagulls and Mountain Ranges

This week kids painted a variety of subjects at The Studio from Seagulls to Mountains. Didn’t they do an AMAZING job on these beautiful paintings?!?!!
A Bridal Shower

What a fun way to celebrate such a special event with friends…especially when many of these friends work at the Conservation Research Center here in Front Royal and they decide to paint Pet Portraits. It was perfect. And everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves so much as we celebrated the bride. Then they left with beautiful paintings of their pets (or favorite animals because I am pretty sure that the one lady doesn’t keep a Bongo in her backyard)!
