Pat’s Favorite is an acrylic abstract, 12″ x 12″, on gallery wrap canvas. From time to time one of my students wants to experiment with abstract. That happened last week in art class so this is the demonstration painting that I did while explaining abstract.
One of my favorite students, Pat (see her here), is not a fan of abstract so I named this for her. 🙂

Tropicana Field
Tampa Bay Rays
Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, is the 16th ball park in the series of 30. More than half way now. Woo Hoo! This field is another of the domed fields. I don’t find them as interesting to paint as the open air fields.

There has been so many great photos of students with their art to post lately that I didn’t want to forget to get this one in. Sam just joined my class about a month ago. She is a wonderful young artist and she just completed this beautiful painting of her dog Shadow who just turned one! Great job Sam! Keep up the good work.

The terrific thing about painting is that anyone can do it. If you have the desire to paint, you can learn to paint. Paint Parties are a chance to learn something new with a great group of friends. A little food, a little drink, a lot of laughing. And in the end you have a new painting. Why don’t you get a group together for a party of your own?
Last night we had a fabulous group of painters for their second party and look at the wonderful work they did! Super work everyone!!! It was so much fun. Read more about paint parties here.

U. S. Cellular Field
Chicago White Sox
U. S. Cellular Field is the home of the Chicago White Sox. It is number 14 in the series of 30 that I am painting and the only field painted as a night scene. This field is distinguished by the “exploding scoreboard” that shoots off fireworks after a home run or a win and it is topped by spinning pinwheels.

After having the Art Camp kids all week it was a nice break to only have one young artist in the regular class this week. (Some of my regulars were in art camp.) So she chose a sock monkey to paint. And a really great job she did on him!!!!
Way to go Logan. Keep up the great work!

Art Campers with “Monet”
Waiting for Varnish
We wrapped up session 3 of Art Camp with a wonderful Monet painting of the Lady with the Umbrella. We worked on it for two days and these young artists did brilliant job. I am sure their families are excited about the outstanding art that these artists produced this week at Art Camp.
If you have a young artist check out the remaining dates of Art Camp here.
