We had a busy day Saturday with two paint parties and the Wine Festival going on. First, a birthday Paint Party…then our regular Paint Your Pet’s Portrait Party. Everyone created beautiful pieces of art!
And we had a few people stop by during the festival to see what we do at The Studio.

We had a marvelous group of painters at the Mother-Child Paint Party yesterday at the Community Center. A beautiful way to celebrate with art and mom!
Happy Mother’s Day!

It’s time to paint flowers for a change. And we have some really nice ones coming up. We will be doing either Poppies or Sunflowers at a Paint Party on Saturday night, March 26th in Clarksville, TN. You can register for that one by clicking here.
But we will also be doing them in Front Royal soon too. The date for the sunflower one is coming soon but the Poppies we will do as a fundraiser for Mountain Laurel Montessori School in April. Info on registration will be out soon. The event will be on Sunday afternoon, April 24th.
Won’t these be fun and look beautiful hanging in your home?!

These are two floral paintings on wooden shingles. Poppies and Dandelions were done as demonstration paintings for this week’s kids class. The kids loved painting on the wooden shingles instead of canvas. It was fun to try something new.

When you teach art, especially if you have Paint Parties, you tend to paint the same subject matter more than once.
I often paint a sample that I can use when promoting the class/party. And then I paint it again while teaching in the class/party. And if it is a popular piece there may be more than one group that paints it.
That is the case with these poppies. So far I have painted it at least 6 times. Here are four versions with the size listed below. This one has been particularly popular because it’s pretty and it is easy for people to be successful when painting it, even if they are painting for the first time!

Poppies Demo 1
Here is a Poppy painting that I did a few weeks ago as a demonstration painting for a private Paint Party. Poppies are always a popular choice for these parties because they look great and they are fairly easy to do so all the painters can be successful.
