At least a couple of times a week I have people say “how much fun your job must be” and I always agree. It is fun being a painter! I love it. It seems carefree and easy. And some days it is. But I am often like that duck in the water seeming calm and floating along on the top of the water and peddling my legs off underneath! The peddling involves staying ahead of the Paint Parties and commissions. Just coming up with ideas or developing an idea that clients have and painting them in a way that will be simple so we can use them for a 2 – 3 hour paint party takes time. I enjoy it but some days I have to paint a LOT to keep up. This past week I did just that. Here are some of the paintings that I’ve worked up for upcoming events. JUST PAINT!!!!
We continue with our Famous Painter Paint Party series at The Studio next Tuesday featuring a painting by Post Impressionist Pierre Bonnard. He was a French painter and print maker who preferred to work from memory and sketches using intense color. Join us Tuesday, August 22nd at 6 pm as we paint this lovely work of art. No experience necessary. 
Here is a variation on the barn posted yesterday. It’s a subtle difference with this one having a little larger flag. For the Paint Party on September 2nd you can choose the version you prefer to paint. Come join us and give it a try.
