I like the feel of this new yarn. It works up really nice and the colors are beautiful. The new scarf turned out great….the weight is perfect. And the shawl I started earlier in the week is done. You can see more about it here.
Known for his drip style of painting, Jackson Pollock was an abstract expressionist painter. Born on this day in 1912, he led a volatile life. You can read more about him here.
And today I am also remembering my mama. My biggest wish is that she would have lived long enough to see The Studio. I think she would have loved it and what we are doing there. I hope she knows. Happy 76th Birthday Mama. We miss you every day. (Read more about my mom here.)

We had a great time last night at the Famous Painter party recreating Georges Seurat “Woman with Monkey”. This was a study that he did for the much larger painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884-86).

Today we celebrate Edouard Manet’s birthday. He was a French Impressionist painter who painted modern life. His works of art are beautiful. We’ve always loved his flower series. Learn more about his life and work here. And in Manet’s honor we will paint one of them, Carnations and Clematis in a Crystal Vase, 1883, for our February Famous Painter Party. Click here to register for that Paint Party. (We honored Manet in June 2016 at our Famous Painter Party by painting his beautiful Roses. You can see those here.) Happy Birthday Manet.
