Jan’s Backyard Painting

I enjoy my adult art classes so much. I have enthusiastic students who are excited to be painting. I especially love it when they paint pieces that are meaningful to them. That was the case with Janice’s recent painting of a backyard scene from her parents home. She talked about good memories that her family has of being together there. You could tell that it was something she cherished and now she has a wonderful painting that she can look at and keep those thought in mind. Great job Jan! Now take a look at what some of the other adult students are working on this week in the Wednesday classes. Keep up the good work everyone!

Lincoln in his Orange Sweater

The last few days I have been spending time crocheting again. When it’s cold outside I love to do that and it has been COLD! So cold in fact that we didn’t go to the dog park yesterday which is unusual for my crowd. They love it there but when it’s really cold out I don’t love it so much. And when it’s below freezing I make my “kids” wear their sweaters (or jackets) when we go out for very long. Lincoln just got a new sweater yesterday. It’s bright orange. Mamie and Jed each had two or three sweaters that fit well but Lincoln only had one so it was time to increase his wardrobe. You can see more sweaters here and here.

Golf Today in history in 1916 the PGA was formed in New York City. And staying with our golf theme, today in 1995 The Golf Channel began on some U.S. cable systems. Four years later, the world’s first 24-hour golf network was seen in over 30,000,000 homes. And thank goodness or Allen wouldn’t have anything to watch on TV. 🙂

I painted this last year. It is called GOLF, oil on canvas, 8″x10″, available at Delilah’s.

A Barn in Miniature

This little miniature painting (3″x5″) was a quick study done as a color demonstration for a student. Color mixing is most important to learn early on so as to make successful paintings. We practice color mixing in every class.
