Drema with her first painting

Yesterday I shared a demo painting that I did this past week with a new student. Yesterday, Drema, my newest student, completed her version. This is her very first painting. And didn’t she do a wonderful job?! I met her recently when she told me she had always wanted to paint but just wasn’t sure she could do. My answer was, “Of course you can”!

Sam’s abstracts

And we said farewell to Sam yesterday. She spent part of her summer break from school painting with us. She is a delightful girl and we will miss her. See more on Sam here.

It hangs at the entry to the Planning office. I am amazed at the number of people who tell me they have seen it there.

Art Campers Paint Cassett

We started the final week of Art Camp this summer by studying Mary Cassett, one of the few female impressionists of the time. The young artists did a marvelous job with the extraordinarily difficult painting. Keep in mind they did this in just one session! Great job everyone. Can’t wait to see the rest of your good work this week.
