Students wrapping up painting
Demo Painting for TVOR
The demonstration painting from The Village at Orchard Ridge class is finally complete. (Here is an earlier look at this painting.) Since we only meet 2 Fridays per month it takes a little longer to complete these. And I want to be sure the students get their painting to the place they want it to be before we call it done. They all did great!
Now to see what they want to paint next!

Poppies Demo 1
Here is a Poppy painting that I did a few weeks ago as a demonstration painting for a private Paint Party. Poppies are always a popular choice for these parties because they look great and they are fairly easy to do so all the painters can be successful.

We had a surprise birthday Paint Party last night at The Studio. What a great and fun way for girlfriends to have a unique celebration.
And they made beautiful poppy paintings. A great gift for everyone to take home with them.

“Violets by the Window” is a painting that I have been working on for several weeks with the group I teach at The Village at Orchard Ridge. The ladies there are very good painters and they enjoy a challenge. This painting is an acrylic on canvas panel measuring 9″x12″.

While working at Delilah’s Art & Gift Shop on Sunday I set up a table on the porch and painted. I like to do that because people are curious and will ask questions about art and painting when they see you working on a piece. This is a look at the progression of my Sunday painting.
