Samples for Upcoming Events

Posted in Team Building on April 27, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Dog Team DemoI am constantly working on sample paintings for upcoming events at The Studio.  It takes a bit of time to stay ahead of what is scheduled next!  Yesterday I wrapped up a design for an upcoming Team Building session that we will be doing with the “Dog Team” from our local Humane Society.  They’ll each paint a section that will then be put together to hang as a mural at the shelter.  We did this a few years ago with the “Cat Team”. You can see that here.

Quilting as Art

Posted in Landscape, Sewing, Small Town Life, Team Building, tagged , , on September 2, 2016| Leave a Comment »

A few weeks ago at a private Paint Party I saw my friend, Kathleen, that I haven’t seen in several years and as we talked about “what have you been up to” she shared with me that she had been doing more quilting with a group of friends.  Then she showed me this lovely quilt that they made.  The quilt is AMAZING.  But even more amazing than that is the fact that each quilter was given one section (a block) to create and all they were told was to do it in Fall colors.  Can you believe how spectacular it  turned out.  I can’t even imagine that they didn’t shop together for fabric or coordinate to make it this wonderful.  Great work ladies.  This is certainly a piece of art!!!  And thanks Kathleen for sharing this information with me so I could share it with everyone.

Team Building with The River 95.3

Posted in Landscape, Team Building, tagged , , , on August 20, 2016| Leave a Comment »

TB Rivver 2TB Rivver 1We had an enthusiastic group at The Studio last night for a Corporate Team Building exercise.  Our friends from The River 95.3  in Front Royal came together to paint this wonderful image of “The River” which will hang at their Studio on Elm Street. Each person had  one section to complete and by communicating and working together they were able to turn their one little section into a fabulous large painting that looks GREAT!!!!  Just look at how awesome it turned out.

Nice work everyone….and thanks for the laughs.  I have never worked with a group where almost every time I used a word or two or a phrase to describe a part of what were to do someone in the group would break into lyrics of a song that related to it.  Radio people…you all are so much fun!

Monet & the State Park

Posted in Art Camp, daily painter, Paint Party, Team Building, tagged , , on June 22, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday was busy for The Studio.  Art Camp in the morning had the campers painting a beautiful Monet inspired sailboat.  The kids did a fabulous job on this one.  And we even had a little time left to explore palette knife painting.  We pack a LOT into just three hours in the morning at camp.

As soon as camp ended we loaded up the supplies and rushed out to the Shenandoah River State Park to hold a Paint Party for Lord Fairfax Community College Workforce Solutions Team.  They painted a wonderful view from the park of a road that leads to the River.  Even a huge impending storm couldn’t dampen our spirits.  This enthusiastic group was a joy with which to  paint.  Thanks everyone!   Check out more about “Team Building” here.

Each Participant Receives a Print of their Creation

The Creative Team Building art went to its permanent home yesterday.  We hung the work of art at the Humane Society of Warren County Shelter where it will reside as a permanent reminder to the participants of their team building experience as well as providing a bright and cheery focal point near the cat area.  (Remember this is the wonderful creation of the Feline Staff of the Shelter.  Read that here.)

Creative Team Building is a terrific way for businesses/corporations to hold retreats or team building events.  These also work great for Bridal Showers, Baby Showers and Graduation Celebrations.  The guest of honor then has a fabulous piece of art for their new space.

And the participants don’t get left out. Each participant gets a print of the finished painting to mat and frame to enjoy.  To learn more about Creative Team Building read about it here….and schedule your event soon.

Team Building – The Studio Way!

Team Building is a catch phrase that has been somewhat overworked in the past decade.  Co-workers have rolled logs, fallen from heights expecting to be caught, solved mysteries and many, many more scenarios.  And while all of these are interesting and do build skills to work together, we feel like The Studio has the ultimate “Team Building” activity – PAINTING!

We offer a unique experience where team members paint a portion of an image and must work together to coordinate lines and colors to make the painting a success.  Discussion ensues and the team pulls together to make the project come together.  And the best part – the team takes the painting back to their place of business to hang where it is a constant reminder of the teamwork needed to make it work!  We love it.

Here is the Humane Society of Warren County’s Feline Team with their beautiful painting.  And can you believe they did this is just a little more than 2 hours!  Success!!!  It will soon be hanging at the Shelter for all to see and enjoy and to be a reminder to this successful team of the collaboration that made it possible.
