My Famous Painter Painting

I often get asked why I don’t post my paintings along with the paintings that the people at Paint Parties do while at The Studio. The answer is that I don’t often finish mine! I am usually walking around helping others put the finishing touches on their work to be sure they are satisfied with them before we wrap up the party. From time to time I get back to my canvas to finish up. I did in the case of the Famous Painter Party this week because I really like the Piet Mondrian still life that we chose to do. Here is how my painting turned out. I love the complementary blue and orange colors.

On one of our morning walks last week, Jed and Lincoln and I saw forsythia beginning to bloom….already! Because of it we painted Forsythia in the kids classes last week and they did great work. Here are the samples I created for them to see for their paintings.
Lately I have been fascinated with Barn Quilts. I don’t know why but I love how they look. So I thought we might try a painting of a barn with a quilt design…and then who know, we may end up making our own barn quilt to hang on a barn or shed. Wouldn’t that be fun?! (The Barn Quilt Paint Party will be on Tuesday, April 4th.
