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!
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.
This month my talented groups in Ocilla and Fitzgerald will tackle landscape painting. Here is our inspiration piece that we will paint in acrylics.
If you have never been to Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta you are really missing a fun adventure. I went in search of vintage children's paint boxes and found two for a good price. I used one in this collage. It's great to try and come up with a way to use your artwork outside of just making a framed painting.
I just finished this acrylic as the subject for my next "Sip and Paint" classes in Ocilla and Fitzgerald. The people that come to these sessions are so much fun to paint with! The colors in this piece are very vivid and I think the zinnias will make great subject matter.
These two are having a good time at the beach! Grandmama is Linda, an art student of mine. She paints some beautiful watercolors!
This large oil is a commission piece for a client who hopes to revisit her favorite California site with her husband. Their wish is to go bike riding through the Napa Valley. I hope this piece inspires them to soon take that trip!
