All everyone is talking about is SNOW! And lots of it!!! So let’s think about Summer Art Camp instead. The schedule for Art Camp is ready. Take a look and start planning for your young artist to attend camp this summer.
Flyer for Kids Summer Art Camp Final 2016
It’s fun; they learn about a variety of art and color mixing; and they create beautiful paintings to take home and enjoy. Space is limited so reserve your young artists space soon and tell your friends about it too!

A very interesting article on how Madame X by John Singer Sargent came to be at the Metropolitan Museum of Art one hundred years ago.
It also points out the “scandal” surrounding the painting. Amazing! Click here to read the article and see other amazing photos of Madame X-the final painting and the original.

Here is another option for the Mobius Wrap/Cowl class coming up. This sample was made using bulky yarn and a loose net style stitch. The great thing about this wrap pattern is that there are so many options for making it.
Why not join us for this class on Saturday, January 23rd at 1:30 pm and begin your beautiful wrap too? Click here to register.

Yesterday at Kids Art class we painted a very cool R2D2. What fun! And we had a BIG group of painters. Great work everyone.
Here is my sample painting. This may be one that “big people” want to do for a Paint Party. How about it Star Wars fans?!

This is Champ. Champ’s mom commissioned this painting for his dad for Christmas. And while Champ isn’t with us any longer so many people knew him as he went to work with them everyday. Several times while I was working on the commission at The Studio people came in and said, “Hey, is that Champ?” He was famous.
The family is into Nascar so we wanted to get the checkered flag motif in the painting too. I forgot to take a photo of the painting before he was picked up so they sent this one to me yesterday to share. I was so glad to hear that everyone loved it.
