Paint Party!

Posted in Paint Parties, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on July 14, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Paint Party JulyThe terrific thing about painting is that anyone can do it.  If you have the desire to paint,  you can learn to paint.  Paint Parties are a chance to learn something new with a great group of friends.  A little food, a little drink, a lot of laughing.  And in the end you have  a new painting.  Why don’t you get a group together for a party of your own?

Last night we had a fabulous group of painters for their second party and look at the wonderful work they did!  Super work everyone!!!  It was so much fun.  Read more about paint parties here.

The Wednesday Night Art Class always has a great time.  These “girls” have been my longest running art students.  Maybe because we have so much fun together.  Last night they surprised me with a birthday party.  (My birthday was Tuesday, the same as Jed’s.  Read here.)   Thanks Shelly, Pat and Jean.  Even with all the eating, singing and laughing, we still got around to doing some painting.  Thanks again!

1500!

Posted in daily painter, Serendipity, tagged , , , on July 10, 2013| 2 Comments »

The first painting posted on my blog over 5 years ago.

One of the first of two paintings posted on my blog’s beginning day over 5 years ago.

Today I hit a milestone.  On February 18, 2008, I started writing the “Life of a Daily Painter” blog.  Today marks the 1500th post.  In the beginning I tried to paint something different every day and share that on the blog.  The first year I posted over 300 new paintings.  As the blog developed I started to share paintings by my students.  This became a favorite feature.  Everyone loved seeing what the art students, both young artists and seasoned ones, were creating.

The second of two paintings shown on my first blog posting in February 2008.

Lately I have also been sharing information on art travel.  When I am fortunate enough to get to see exciting exhibits and museums I try to bring that to my readers.  And during all this I have continued to share my paintings as well.  It has been a really fun experience.  And many thanks to all of you for following my blog and sharing it with your friends and family.

I really appreciate the support and encouragement!

U. S. Cellular Field is the home of the Chicago White Sox.  It is number 14 in the series of 30 that I am painting and the only field painted as a night scene.  This field is distinguished by the “exploding scoreboard” that shoots off fireworks after a home run or a win and it is topped by spinning pinwheels.

Art Camp Session 2 Day 2 - 1Yesterday the young painters at Art Camp did this fabulous Vincent Van Gogh painting.  We discussed Van Gogh and his interesting history and family.  And didn’t these girls do a stunning job recreating Van Gogh’s chair!?!  I really enjoyed this session of camp with these girls.  They are all very good painters and interested in art and the process.  Great work!

Next week Art Camp continues with young artists age 8-13 studying Impressionism and painters like Monet, Degas and Renoir.  This particular week is full but there are others available if you have young painters interested in having fun with art this summer.  See the schedule here.
