Miss Inge

One sunny day last week I took the paintings that the ladies at The Southerlands had completed in the last few months outside to give them a good coat of varnish. There were a BUNCH of them. I love going up there on Tuesday’s to work with these fun ladies. They always make me smile.
I guess that is why I was so shocked when I went a few weeks ago and learned that one of my favorite students, Miss Inge, had passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. She had never painted before we started and she just loved what she created.
This is one of Inge’s last paintings. I will miss her smiling face and wonderful little Jewish sayings. She never let me squeeze out too much paint. “We shouldn’t waste”. I can hear her saying it now with a big, sweet smile on her face and twinkle in her eye.
Happy Independence Day!

This is Jacob. He is one of my private students. He’s 6.
A few weeks ago I asked him what he wanted to paint next and he said Buffy. Buffy is his old golden retriever. Buffy is almost twice as old as Jacob and you can tell he loves her.
So we painted Buffy. It took two lessons and he did a terrific job. I love helping young artists paint their pets.

While in Newport recently I had an opportunity to drive around taking reference photos. This one of the Oreo cow is one of my favorites. They are actually called Belted Galloways but I think they look like Oreos. Dorothy and I painted them last week in class. You can read more about them here.
Olivia and G-Pa

Last night at art class I had the most delightful treat. Olivia, my little 5-year-old private student that you have seen before on my blog, and her grandfather from Florida came to paint together while he was visiting. It was so much fun!!!
Olivia helped G-Pa with his painting because she is such a pro. Can you think of anything cuter than this photo! Good job Olivia and you too, G-Pa!
