This week at our regular weekly art classes we had several painters finish the pieces. And they all did great work! I love that at our weekly classes each painter is working on whatever they like….I get to see some wonderful art that way. We have Nancy with her Geraniums from a photo taken on a trip; Cecilia and her elephants; and Catherine with her daughter’s Boxer. Beautiful work ladies!

pk-hydrangeas Yesterday it was hydrangeas that I painted using the knife. (This one is SOLD!) I am loving this method. Can’t wait to get home and really spread out and do some of these on larger canvas. We leave today after having a really great time at Art of the Carolinas. I have two friends who came with me and they have had some interesting classes as well. It is so much fun to be the student for a change!

Expressive Palette Knife Florals

Posted in Flowers, Serendipity, Workshop/Retreat, tagged Art of the Carolinas, Kimberlee Maselli, palette knife, Raleigh, Tulips on November 11, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Each year there is a big Trade Show & Workshop held in Raleigh NC called Art of the Carolinas. I’ve attended several times but haven’t been able to make it in a few years…until now. I came this year with two friends and we are enjoying the workshops. Yesterday I went to Kimberlee Maselli‘s Expressive Floral with Palette Knife class. She’s a great instructor helping each of us to learn to use a variety of knives to get shapes and designs to make a lovely floral painting.

We first worked on paper with a few different shapes and then she turned us loose on a canvas panel. She had fresh flowers available for inspiration. I chose the tulips. It was a fun and different way for me to work. Can’t wait till the next workshop. More from Raleigh tomorrow.

Marie’s Hydrangea

Posted in Flowers, Private Lesson, tagged Hydrangea on October 1, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Marie loves to paint. She told me that yesterday. She said it was her favorite thing. She’s too young for my regular kid’s class so she is taking private lessons now every few weeks. After the first one she told me that purple was her favorite color so we painted the purple hydrangea at this lesson. Then she told me for the next time she wants to paint her dog. 🙂
