James Rizzi Inspired Portraits

My youngest art students completed these paintings of queens and kings and I was able to snap this photo of them before they took off with the finished works.  The expressions on the paintings are so funny and priceless.  Enjoy!

Garden Signs



I recently created some garden signs with quotes and wanted to share them with you.  I found blocks of distressed wood and painted them with acrylic paint.  So they cost almost nothing to craft.  The first one says, "Chin Up Buttercup, Everything's Gonna Be Alright!"  The other signs have a clip attached.  Twelve index cards with the month of the year printed on each one are clipped to the sign.  You can record what you planted each month or what things need to be done in your garden each month.  

Corks and Canvases for March

This month my talented groups in Ocilla and Fitzgerald will tackle landscape painting.  Here is our inspiration piece that we will paint in acrylics.
