Another private session yesterday saw Wilma painting a beautiful sunflower. Nice work! We are still offering private sessions until the middle of May when we will resume our schedule at The Studio with limited painters in each session. Check out the events we have scheduled so far here.

Private Palette Knife Lesson

When Alannah came to Art Camp this summer she fell in love with my Tulip Palette Knife painting. She wanted to buy it for her room but instead we talked her into taking a lesson to do one of her own. And she did an excellent job yesterday painting with a palette knife for the first time. Great work girl!
Pawcasso

The Studio is sponsoring a really fun event for the Humane Society of Warren County – PAWCASSO. When Lavenda Denney approached me last year about her idea for this project she knew she had me at art and rescue pets. She wanted to have the available animals at the shelter “paint” works of art to sell at a show at the arts council. I loved the idea and agreed to sponsor it right away but also suggested we take it a little further by offering private lessons for people who already have pets. So The Studio provided 10 sessions to people who would pre-purchase a large (18″ x 24″) painting with their pets. The pets had a private lesson with me and we created the large work of art. And it’s no surprise that those sold out. We have had so much fun with this project. And tonight is the reception from 6-9 pm at The Blue Ridge Arts Council at 405 E Main St. You don’t want to miss it! You have to see this art and these wonderful small works are for sale. Please come. Here are some of the painters at their session. LOL!

For Caleb’s second lesson he asked to paint a bird. Here is his little chickadee! His siblings wanted their photo made with him. 🙂 Great job Caleb!
Marie’s Hydrangea

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. 🙂
“Fresh Air Fund” Private Party

Yesterday we had a private party. It was a special one as Ty was visiting from Brooklyn with his “Virginia mom”, Kimberly. And their friend Josh joined in at the party too.
Ty is Kim’s “Fresh Air Fund” son. I learned from their website that “since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund, a not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences in the country to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities. At Fresh Air camps in Fishkill, NY, and with volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada, Fresh Air kids learn new skills, discover talents, build confidence, make friends and have fun. During the school year, The Fresh Air Fund continues to support students through tutoring, mentoring and leadership programs.”
What a terrific program! And what a terrific thing that Kimberly is doing with these kids. Ty was delightful and told me about all the many things they have been doing since he’s been visiting in Virginia.
