We had a great week with in our art classes.
The young artists painted their version of Bella, a sweet little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that belongs to my friend Joanne.
Pat completed her Cardinal on the Fence Post.
Jean made a lot of progress on her beach scene. And Shelly continued her painting.
We all have so much fun painting and laughing in our classes.

A few weeks ago a friend posted a photo of her duck, Jase, on Facebook. I immediately asked her if we could paint the photo in our kids class and she gave us permission.
The kids did a great job painting Jase’s portrait. Don’t you love it??? Good job everyone. I’ll bet Jase would like them.

I arrived at Sassafras Farm yesterday afternoon to prepare for this weekend’s workshop. The farm is the home to my friend, Suzanne McMinn of Chickens in the Road fame. (Check out her blog here.) I am excited. The workshop is full and I am sure it is going to be a great weekend of learning and fun!
The farm has a multitude of animals from goats, sheep, chickens, cows, horses to of course, dogs and cats. There will be many opportunities for photos to build my reference library for painting. 🙂
In the painting portion of the workshop we will be doing a canvas, landscape painting, as well as a gourd birdhouse. I’ll show you the results tomorrow.
