Open Studio Today!

Open StudioToday is Open Studio day at The Studio-The Place for Learning.  Open Studio is from 10 am – 1 pm and is a time where creative people can come together to work on projects while socializing and sharing ideas.  If you like to create having a place to share ideas and create will improve your skills.

Need help finding the time to paint…or to catch up on that knitting or crochet project?  If you need a place to let your creativity shine or just a little down-time to work on your project without the distractions of home then Open Studio time offers the solution. We do this on the 2nd and 4th Fridays. Having several hours to create with other inspired artists helps to keep your creative juices flowing. .Ideas get tossed around; lots of laughing occurs; FUN!

While instruction and supplies are not included in Open Studio time there is always someone there that will offer advice if asked.  You are welcome to use any of our rotating galleries of paintings for inspiration or flip through the many reference books that are available. Ample space is provided for you to bring your own snacks and beverages.

Come create with us!  We love the company.

Almost every morning I walk my dogs along a path at the Shenandoah River down to the Dog Park.  They love it and so do I.  It’s a beautiful place in any season but it’s particularly lovely right now as the Bluebells are blooming.  I posted several photos on my Facebook page earlier this week (check that out here) and everyone thought it would make a great painting.  So at Kid’s Painting class yesterday they painted it.  Great job everyone!

And this little 4-year-old turned out to be a great little student.  She had so much fun painting the two little canvases I brought for her.  And didn’t she do a wonderful job.  She was so excited to show her parents.

Meaningful Paintings

JeanOne of the great things about painting is that you can capture subjects that are meaningful to you.  Jean, a Wednesday evening student, recently completed this landscape painting.  It is a scene of a Ranger Station (in the foreground) in a town in Africa that she and her family visited last year.  They visited places that her family is from and that were meaningful to her family.  Since then the volcano that is seen in the distance behind the station in her painting erupted and the building as well as the village was razed.  This painting is all the more special now.  Great job Jean!
