20170615_192936 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…

Final Touches Added

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.
