Generally during Spring Break I have only one or two students who come to art class. Imagine my surprise when Wednesday I had 12 students! Wow!!!
They all did a great job. We painted a beautiful landscape of a gate that is out from Millwood.
The Thursday class did a fine job with the same painting too. Great job everyone.

Spring Jed
This time of the year I take loads of photos to use as reference for my paintings. Most serious artists have tons of photos to use throughout the year as they develop paintings.
And I can’t help but take photos of my kids too. It’s hard to get them to sit still usually, especially Lincoln. But this time a bird was tweeting in the tree and he was transfixed.

Mara painting Max
I captured a photo of Kaylee and Dorothy with their finished pet portraits from Saturday’s Pet Portrait Workshop. (See it below.) Mara got away before I could get her finished photo. I’ll try to get a photo of her with the finished Max to show you all. They all turned out great! You girls are terrific. Thanks for making Saturday so much fun!!!

This is Max Booe.
This is Max’s portrait.
This is Judi, Max’s mom after she received the gift of Max’s portrait from the friend who commissioned the painting. She likes it.

At the Young Artist classes over the last three weeks we have been working on a masterpiece! Normally we paint an 8×10 or 9×12 painting each week. But recently we worked on these large 16″x20″ paintings of a beach scene. It’s good for them to paint large from time to time just to see what it’s like to cover a canvas that big and to have a nice large painting to enjoy. Good job guys. Keep up the good work.

I spent some time yesterday evening working on ideas for the kids to paint at Art Camp this summer. Check out info here for this summer’s schedule and photos from last summer.
The three Matisse’s you see here are my copies of three of his paintings that we did in art camp or art classes last year. I love Matisse so I am sure we will do others.
