Robin and Carla Paint Poppies
Kids Class with Cardinals
We had 3 terrific art classes yesterday, as we usually do on Wednesdays. We had a mother-daughter guest duo paint with us in the morning. They did super work on the poppy field….and Mom said “I have never painted before. I can’t paint”. And of course, I said, “Yes, you can!” And she did. 🙂
And our afternoon kid’s class painted these lovely little female cardinals in the snow. Great work!!!

Kid Birch Paintings (with Daisy)
Demo Birch Painting
Miss Daisy Visits
Daisy with Chewie Treat
The kids painted some beautiful “Birch Trees at Night” in their class yesterday. Super work! They look great.
And I had a teaching assistant at all my classes yesterday. Daisy is a one-year-old Westie who is a neighbor’s pup. They had to go out-of-town on an emergency last Sunday night and so Daisy came to stay with us. She is an adorable, sweet little girl…but make no mistake she is ALL terrier…full of life and mischief! We are enjoying her.

Here are two more older paintings that Brother and sister-in-law have hanging in their home.
As a daily painter there was a time that I was painting about 250-300 paintings a year…mostly smaller pieces. Producing so many I lost track of many of them. I did start keeping better records a few years ago but these were produced before that time.
It’s thrilling for an artist to see their work hanging in homes. So I really got a kick when visiting Brother’s home to see these. So glad they enjoy my work.

Conference Managers Class Photo
Conference Managers Selfie
I had the pleasure of working with the Conference Managers yesterday for their Christmas Party. They had a fun day of cooking, wine tasting and painting at The Salamander Resort in Middleburg.
We painted a lovely winter scene with snow and trees and they all did a FABULOUS job! They were an enthusiastic and delightful group…but what could I expect when you get 15 A-type personalities together to paint. It was spirited! Great work everyone.
And I love that after we took their “class photo” they leaned in to take a “selfie”. Now those girls are good!!!

Last night at Art Class I had a delightful group of young people come to paint with me for the first time. It was a brother and sister and cousin. Their grandmother “made” them do it. LOL They all did a wonderful job even though they told me they had not painted this way before.
And in the end they were glad that she MADE them do it. I hope I get the chance to work with them again soon. Great job guys. Keep Painting!
