We hold Open Studio every Friday from 10-1 at The Studio where artists can come and work on projects along with other painters….sharing ideas, stories and fun! From time to time I have a private student lesson during that time. This past Friday McKenzie, one of my former art campers, came to paint a beautiful landscape. McKenzie is just 10 years old….didn’t she do a great job???!!!! She loves color mixing and listens closely to instructions. Wonderful painting McKenzie! And Donna came last week to our Famous Painters session where we are recreating some of Edouard Manet’s final paintings…..all florals. She came in Friday during Open Studio to complete hers. It looks awesome…..and while it was a challenge she mastered it. Great work Donna! Our next Famous Painter comes up soon. Check it out here. https://thestudio-104116.square.site/product/jul-27th-manet-s-last-flowers-series/5T43BS3YQWQ4WCS3DHJHQJBT?cs=true&cst=custom

Another great day with a field trip to start off as we went to Warrenton to check out Quilting Essentials and More. It’s a small shop but they have gorgeous, quality fabric and the owner was super nice. Then we came back to quilting and sewing the rest of the afternoon. And of course, after dinner, we had our usual games plus a Christmas special. Katrina won again and Sherry, Sister (Suzanne) and Julie joined in the winner’s circle. Can’t wait to see what happens on our final night.

We had our final banner class yesterday. It’s been a year of fun with these quilters as we created 12 seasonal banners to celebrate the year. These will be treasures year after year as they bring them out to decorate for each month. What a great job everyone did and my how we all improved as we stretched our skills. Nice work ladies. Y’all have been so much fun to work with….just a delight! I can’t wait till we start our next monthly projects. And for everyone who has been following along, take a look at the terrific group of banners we made this year. Aren’t they just fabulous???!!!!

I got the most beautiful Studio Anniversary surprise yesterday from my student and friend, Dianne. She put into words exactly what I had hoped The Studio would become – a place for people to gather and create and feel as if they are a part of the Front Royal community. Thank you Dianne for putting it in works…and “Keep up the Good Work”!

We had a wonderful afternoon painting Monet’s Dahlias for our July Famous Painter session. What a great job everyone did! This was an extra large canvas and a bit of a challenge but everyone was up to it and turned out some amazing work. Next month’s Famous Painter session will feature Degas. Check out the painting and register here.
