Yesterday (Monday) was my day off. I try really hard to not schedule anything on Mondays since I work most weekends and it’s usually the only day off I get. But yesterday, instead of laying around catching up on my rest and house work I went to visit my friends at Sanders Ranch (Battlefield Equestrian Center).
It’s owned by Kim Sanders, one of the girls that comes to paint Pet Portraits once a quarter with the group from Centerville area. We always have such a great time. While I have been to her place once she invited me to come back to paint. So I did. What a fun day.
I got two paintings started which I will share with you as soon as I complete them but even better than that I got tons of reference photos of the animals and barns. It’s like a petting zoo there with all the fun and friendly animals…..donkey, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, turkey…. What fun! Thanks again Kim. I loved it.
Yesterday at Art Camp our young artists (ages 5-7) painted “La Chat Blanc” by Francois Jordain for Day one of our Famous Animal Paintings Camp. Didn’t they do a wonderful job? Today it’s on to goldfish!
The ladies from Animal Medical Center in Stephens City painted Pet Portraits yesterday. Terrific work!
Last night we made up a Pet Portrait Party that was canceled because of the snow storm. The paintings are GREAT! And no, Lauren does not have a pet dinosaur but her daughter likes them and she has already painted all of her pet’s portraits. 😉
Last week at our Famous Painters Party we painted a wonderful ode to Matisse. hey look GREAT! The next Famous Painter night is Tuesday, February 23rd at 6 pm and we will paint Cezanne.
