I bought my ticket back in December…the day they went on sale. And I’ve waited patiently (well, sort of) for the day to arrive. It was my Birthday present to myself. And finally the day arrived. I traveled to DC with my good buddy, Sandy. We came early and made a day of it. The rain came down but that didn’t deter us. By concert time the clouds lifted and it was perfect.
JAMES TAYLOR and BONNIE RAITT!!!! Can you believe it? Together. They were awesome! They played a few new songs but a LOT of old favorites. I especially like the one he sang about Sunny Skies…the pug! 🙂 Often, when I look forward to something for this long I am disappointed when it arrives but this did NOT disappoint. I do love me some James Taylor! I wish the photos were clearer but you can get the idea from these. Did I mention it was AWESOME???!!!!!!
This summer we have enjoyed meeting grandchildren who have been visiting our friends. And we especially glad that they came to The Studio to paint. This week I was delighted to work with Courtney. She is our friend Linda’s granddaughter visiting from Maryland. She chose to paint Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and she did a fantastic job. Come visit us again soon Courtney!
Yesterday at Art Camp our young artists (ages 5-7) painted “La Chat Blanc” by Francois Jordain for Day one of our Famous Animal Paintings Camp. Didn’t they do a wonderful job? Today it’s on to goldfish!
On the last day of this session of art camp our young artists (ages 5-7) painted another local scene….our Town Clock. And didn’t they do a terrific job?! It is always a challenge to get so many to sit still for a photo but then when a dog walks by as we are set up for the photo all kinds of wiggling occurs. Everyone of them had to get a pet in as the pup walked by. LOL
This session of Art Camp has our kids painting local scenes. Yesterday they painted a view of the old bridge entering town. They did an awesome job with this one. Can’t wait to see what this group of little artists do today!
We had a lot of fun at art class yesterday with a fun group of girls painting a delightful little camping scene. What cute campers! I’ve been looking for one for years and I would be thrilled to find any of these. Wouldn’t you?
