The First Saturday in May

Spring in Kentucky

Means getting ready for the Derby!

I guess the whole world doesn't stop for the first Saturday in May, 

but in Kentucky,

especially near Loouuaavlle,
(yeah, we really say it like that)

it's a pretty big deal.

Carrollton is about an hour north of Loouuaavlle,

so it's a pretty big deal here too!

Today in River Run Gallery,

we were painting Derby Hat Coasters.

And are they ever cute!
These two did a super job on their creations!

 

Judy and Susanne were here painting a set of four coasters

 with a different hat on each one.   

 They decorated their hats with ribbon, feathers, flowers and beautiful color.

Each coaster is porcelain and has several coats of indoor/outdoor varnish on before they paint and then several more after they finish painting.

There are also some available for sale in the gallery, $25 per set.

This class will repeat at noon on Saturday, April 25, $25.

Springtime in the South

  This lovely painting may be a little more challenging than some other paintings, but the colors are beautiful and so fun to paint.  

Thursday, April 23, 6-9 p.m. $40
