Ethan and Madeline's Daffodils

Ethan and Madeline’s Daffodils

We had a successful day at our kid’s and adult art classes yesterday.  Ethan and Madeline (a brand-new student) painted these fabulous spring daffodils.  I love the blue background and bright yellow impressionistic flowers.  Great work!

Logan's Owl

And in the adult class, Logan finished this adorable owl.  Logan started in my kids class several years ago and then moved up to the adult group this past year.  She’s a natural!  She has picked up every tip I have thrown out and applied it to her work.  I am so proud of you Logan.  SUPER!

Nick's Peonies

And the peony painting is by Nicholas another adult student who began painting with me last fall.  He didn’t want his photo taken but I had to share the beautiful painting he just completed.  Nick paints meticulously and it shows in his beautiful work.

Great job everyone!

Pat Paints Portraits

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , on March 20, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Pats Portrait 1The students in the adult art classes all work on different subject matter.  I like for them to paint what they want so that in the end they have a painting that they will enjoy or that they will give to friends and family.  Pat is one of my students that paints many things for her family members and has done many wonderful paintings for them.  Recently she completed this fabulous portrait for her daughter and she recently sent this photo showing where she hung the work.

CAM06677Now Pat is on to another wonderful painting – Daisies!

Nice job Pat.  I know your family has a long list of things they want you to paint for them.  Keep up the good work!

Posted in Art Class, Serendipity, Travel, tagged , on March 5, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Barnyard with Variety of Animals

Retreat will take place at Sassafras Farm. This is part of the mural that I painted in the studio there in 2012. “Barnyard with Variety of Animals”

Last week I told you about the Creative Retreat that I am helping teach with my friend Suzanne McMinn of Chickens in the Road fame!  The retreat is half filled so if you are interested in a fun weekend of cooking and painting be sure to sign up soon.

Here is the description that Suzanne sent out this morning with a link to go sign up:

Spring 2014 Creative Blast Retreat — Art and Cooking!
Saturday, April 26 – Sunday, April 27, 2014

This spring retreat will span two days, taking you from the kitchen to the art easel with workshops including “Julia and You”–gourmet cooking techniques from the great Julia Child, and “Let’s Paint”–an awesome art experience in which you’ll be led step-by-step to create two works of art. (No prior experience required!) My teaching partner for this retreat will be Kelly Walker, daily painter, experienced teacher, and writer of “Life of a Daily Painter“. Three meals per day are included along with all your supplies, materials, and take-home projects. All workshops and activities will take place at Sassafras Farm in Roane County, West Virginia.

Get all the details on this retreat, including how to sign up, here.  And to see the other murals that are in the teaching studio at Sassafras Farm click here.

Wonderful Student Art

Kathy with her “Cat in the Door”

I love helping my students create beautiful paintings each week in class.  For those who don’t know in our weekly art classes each student paints whatever subject matter they prefer and I help each person individually instead of everyone painting the same thing as we do at the Paint Parties.  This allows each painter to have something they really want when they complete a painting rather than just the subjects that I select.

Here are a couple of really nice ones that Gretchen and Kathy completed this past week.  Great job!!!
