My Ocilla Sip and Paint class will be painting pictures of cotton bolls in November. I myself had never painted them so I tried it out last night. Thanks so much to Lynn and Linda who brought me lots of cotton stalks from their farms. These beautiful white plants are so much fun to paint. I can't wait to introduce the girls to this subject matter for their next paintings.
This watercolor is from a memory of seeing a group of boys outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It took me forever to find out to what group they belonged. They are Sea Scouts. I guess they are like our Boy Scouts here in the states. They were about to have a bake sale when I took a photo of them.
Here is the last one of the vintage farm toys. I am plowing through my studio looking for more objects that would be good subjects for paintings. Send me ideas you might have for subject matter. Happy Halloween!
Here is the second in the farm toy series. I spent the weekend scouring Scott's Antique Market for old Scrabble letters to use on these. I didn't have much luck finding those but what a fun place to visit and shop! If you've never been, you have got to go. It's open the second weekend of each month. It is off 285, Jonesboro Rd. in Atlanta.
Our group had a fantastic time painting still lifes of pumpkin gourds and flowers. I look forward to our November class.
