We started Art Camp this year with 5-7 year olds painting the “Still Life with Apple and a Pear” by Paul Cezanne from 1888-90. They did a fine job. These kids are learning about different styles of art and artists as well as learning about color mixing. Great! Can’t wait to see their Monet today…

I paint many demonstration paintings as I teach and most of the time I don’t go back and finish them up because I don’t usually have time before I am on to something else. But occasionally I will go in and tighten up one or two so that they are a little more complete. Here are a few that I did add a little more to recently. You can see the original posts for these paintings here: Still Life, Sailboat Landscape, and Tulips.

The Virginia International Academy students painted this little still life this week. We have been working on a variety of subjects and styles since they started painting at The Studio. They are doing beautiful work!

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.

We had a terrific group of painters join us at The Studio for Famous Painter night as we recreated Dutch painter Piet Mondrian’s still life of a Plate with Oranges. Didn’t these ladies do beautiful work. I love these.
