Students wrapping up painting
Demo Painting for TVOR
The demonstration painting from The Village at Orchard Ridge class is finally complete. (Here is an earlier look at this painting.) Since we only meet 2 Fridays per month it takes a little longer to complete these. And I want to be sure the students get their painting to the place they want it to be before we call it done. They all did great!
Now to see what they want to paint next!

Class Demo Painting of Flowered Wall
Several months ago I was asked to teach painting at The Village at Orchard Ridge, a beautiful retirement community just West of Winchester.
(Here is the post I did about a demonstration I did there for the residents.)
I am having so much fun painting with these students. They are delightful. We meet every other week and paint together and they share with me other things they have been painting in between.
Art is such a good hobby for people especially as they age. Anyone can do it. It doesn’t take any special physical need. As long as you can sit up and hold a brush you are good to paint! This is something everyone can do.
My students there range in age from 60’s-90’s! I am always happy to see this group of enthusiastic painters.

Last night I was invited to speak to a group at The Village at Orchard Ridge. It’s a beautiful retirement community in Winchester. I have been teaching art there every other week for a few months and just love the people.
The demonstration was scheduled to help some of the residents see just how easy it can be to start painting. It was a nice evening with a good turn out and lots of great questions. I am a firm believer that anyone who wants to learn to paint can! The only thing needed is the desire. Classes are available in Front Royal on Wednesday and Thursday at The Studio. Check out the calendar here and come join in the fun.
