Mountain Cabin

Mountain Cabin

 Cold, snowy, mountains, trees, cabin, road -

Would you like to paint that in a fun winter landscape scene?

Here's the painting.

This 20" x 16" scene is the class being taught

Monday, November 17, 6-9 p.m.

You're going to learn a lot in this class and it probably will take

all three hours to complete it.  

But, it will be fun and you will do great work!

I supply everything you need to complete this painting,

except a cover up for $40.

Snowman Party

Snow Man Group

Tonight I painted with some really great kids!

I am so proud of them and the work they did.

I swore them to secrecy on how I paint snow.

It's an art secret that they promised to not reveal.

You know the secret about underpainting the snow purple or lavender.

They all swore they would never tell.

Here they are beginning their snowmen.

And here's the finished snowmen.

Hey parents,

One of my art friends suggested you could make your Christmas cards out

of photographs of your kids paintings.  

You could use any number of printers,

but that would be fun wouldn't it.

So,

what is a group of snowmen called?  

They aren't a gaggle,

or a pride

or a covey.

Let me know if you know?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Holiday Garden Stones

Holiday Garden Stones

The holidays are always a fun time to decorate, to eat, to have families together,

and make memories.

These garden stones will add a sparkle of color to your yard, 

your front door, your yard. 

They all have 4-5 coats of an indoor/outdoor varnish on them 

and are good to go outside as well as inside.

 Ornaments on a pine bough make a fun stone.

Poinsettieas will also add a bright spot during the winter months.

If you can't keep your poinsettia plant alive,

I'm pretty sure you can keep this one nice and red and looking good.

Comment if you'd like to see these as painting classes in late November or December.
