The kids classes this week painted pumpkin pie…just in time for Thanksgiving. They all did great jobs!

And I’m really proud of Sophie. She’s been painting with me in the kids class for quite a while now and last night she moved to the adult oil painting class. This is her first attempt with oils. Good job Sophie!

Art in the Carolinas

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged art lessons, art supplies, Art Trade Show, daily painting, Jerry's Artarama, Raleigh, Virginia Artist on November 12, 2010| Leave a Comment »

In order to keep doing this, painting daily, I have to spend some time buying supplies as well as keeping abreast of what other artists are doing. One way I do this is to go annually to Raleigh, NC to Art in the Carolina, a huge art supply trade show and workshop event sponsored by Jerry’s Artarama, my favorite artist supply store and catalog. I love going. It’s great fun to watch the demonstrations, check out the new products, and pick up supplies at great prices.

A big plus is that my artist friends from Kentucky come and I get to spend time with them including my former teacher and artist mentor, Barbara Gardner. It is always good to catch up with friends. I’ll let you know what all I learn as soon as I return. 🙂

As I posted a few weeks ago, click here to see more, I have been working on Hunter Orange sweaters for my boys to wear when we go to the cabin during hunting season. They love to run and play and I want to be sure they are well seen.

Here they are modeling their new looks.

And here they are arguing over who wears it the best!

And Lincoln with an expression on his face like “Why me?”
