Three of my students finished their paintings this past week.  And boy did they do a great job.  Ethan made this terrific kite painting and Jacob did this wonderful open book painting in the Kids Class.  Kids ages 7-12 paint each Thursday from 4:15-5:15.  And we would love to have new painters join us.

Logan, who started in the Kids Class several years ago and now has moved to the adult class, completed this wonderful “Enterprise” painting.  Great job Logan with nice vision.  You are doing super in the Adult Class!

CAM06556I have had a special request for a Paint Party.  Just for all you “Dr Who” fans – we are painting a Tardis!   Saturday, March 22nd at 3 pm at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal.  Space is limited so be sure to contact me right away to register is you are a “Who” fan.

This is a demo painting that I did quickly last night to give you an idea of what we might do.  You can have the options of giving it a “Starry Night” background or you can paint an open space background for your Tardis.

Also, there are 2 spaces left in the “Paint Your Own Pet Portrait” Party on Saturday, March 15th.  If you would like to join us sign up today.

CAM06368I finally got back to the demonstration painting from the 1st Saturday Paint Party and finished it up.  I often start demo paintings while teaching and don’t get back to them to finish because I get busy helping students complete theirs.  I like this one and wanted to wrap it up.

The next 1st Saturday Paint Party is this Saturday, March 1 at 4 pm.  There are a few spaces left to paint a landscape this time so register today.

CAM06317As I continue to work on the book series (I haven’t given up…just been misdirected for a week or so) we decided to paint a book with my young student yesterday.  Here is Ethan with a wonderful painting of an open book and glasses.  We painted side by side so you see his version on the left, mine on the right and the reference photo above my painting.

We decided a plain background was too dull so we put “wallpaper” on the wall behind our tables.   Great job Ethan!
