A New Painting and a Party I Missed

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2010| 1 Comment »

The Red Pottery Barn is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12″.  This is a painting we are working on in our Tuesday afternoon class.  It should be finished soon.

Last night I returned home after being gone for just two hours to teach my Thursday evening art class and this is what I found.  Apparently Lincoln had a little party while I was away.  The sad thing is that all of this “stuff” was up on shelves or on the table when I left.  I don’t know how a dog with those short legs can get things from that high up.   UGH!!!

Let the Games Begin

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , on September 3, 2010| 1 Comment »

Let the Games Begin is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas and is available for $145. 

This is another of those paintings that was started in art class and then I got busy helping students and never got back to it.  I am trying to wrap up a few of these and get my stack of unfinished paintings eliminated.  I’ll keep at it.

In the meantime, I wanted to share this photo from yesterday morning.  My dogs often bark in the backyard, much to my neighbors dismay.  This is what I saw laying in her yard and I’m thinking maybe that’s why the dogs are barking so much!

View of the Mountains XIV is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12″ and is available for $165. 

This is a view that I have painted many times as I use this photograph when teaching new students.  I like it because it gives someone new to painting an opportunity to learn color mixing as well as several different compositional lessons.

L-R: Isabella, Shayla, Logan, Daniel, Sophie

Yesterday at Art Class my young students painted a beach scene. They had requested that we do a beach landscape several weeks ago.  So we did.  And didn’t they do a fabulous job!!!   Keep in mind that the class is only an hour-long and they did this in that time.  Good work everybody!  

 

(This is the demo that I did for them.)

Guest Students

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 19, 2010| 3 Comments »

One of my regular Art Class students asked me a few weeks ago if I would work with her grandchildren when they visited this month.  And, of course, I said yes.  And boy did they turn out to be the most delightful kids.  Evan and Lane are from Washington, DC but were here for a few days visiting the grandparents.

They came in with the best attitudes about taking the class and were all about having a good time and learning.  What fun that makes it for me.  🙂

And for their first time in painting class, they both did an excellent job!  Don’t you think?

Come back anytime.  You were both so much fun.

Children’s Art

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on July 8, 2010| 1 Comment »

This is Charlee.  You’ve seen her before on my blog as she is one of my best young students.  She really has an eye for art and loves it.  Recently we had a private session where she painted this portrait of her cousin, Austin.  She did it for his birthday.  I think it turned out fabulous.  I especially love the way “Woody” is peeking in the corner of the painting.  Great job Charlee!

Tony just joined our Wednesday Art Class.  This is the first painting that he completed with me.  We were very impressed with how great it was.  Keep painting Tony.  You are doing a super job!
