This is Joey. Yesterday he had his first painting lesson with me and we painted this Chickadee. He did a GREAT job. Nice work Joey.
Joey has watched his big sister paint with me for a while now (See some of Sophia’s work here and here) and he asked if he could give it a try. I’m glad he did.

Twenty-two years ago today I lost my Mama. She was young…just 52 when she died of cancer. It was and still is the hardest day. For those of you who have lost your mom you understand. I know I will never stop missing her. She was a teacher so today as I teach my art classes I will be thinking of her and know that she is looking down on us smiling…

We made a trip to the Tulip Farm yesterday to pick a few but mostly to take photos for painting reference. A beautiful day. Burnside Farms is right outside of Haymarket.

Just finished this vintage ripple crochet throw from a pattern I found on Pinterest. (I LOVE PINTEREST!) It’s wonderfully bright and I like the use of double triple stitches to make the long shells. Give it a try. Click here to find the pattern.

For the past several weeks Sophia has been working on a copy of a Japanese woodblock painting of the Wave. Her aunt requested that she do it for her so she worked really hard on it to make it very nice. And she did! Excellent work Sophia!
