  I am teaching this tonight for a painting with a purpose.
The Affirmations project is sponsoring it for cancer survivors and we have sold out both classrooms.
Thank you to everyone who has signed up with us tonight to support this cause...and paint this picture...
 It should be fun and I am excited to be a part of it...
I hope everyone has a creative week...
bye for now...



 

Aug.5th 2018

   I was so excited to be able to get to see all the new changes in Jenn's family home..
 It is beautiful and well worth the effort put into it to make such a comfy, cozy environment...
I was also so happy to get to see Becky and meet her son, what a cutie, and at 10 months starting to walk...so much fun to watch....
I was able to see so many more members of the family and friends as they gathered at Jenn's to meet up, to go to the Gorge together, for the Phish concert there...
They all said what a great time was had there and they came home tired and happy...
.Aidan and I held down the fort and were quite happy to spend a quiet weekend together in what feels like a brand new home...
Time sure flies when you are having fun, and now I have been home and back to work for about a week ...
WOW what a great July !!!!
Have a nice Sunday, Relax and just Breathe.....

I was able to get some other artwork finished while I was in Seattle.
I was having some fun with Pastels, doing these when we stumbled upon a really nice art store in downtown Edmonds.
I purchased a few pastel pencils that were made in France, and I am really glad I did. one of the results of using these....The sunflower.
 It is the only example of the pencils, but more to come soon....
Jenn has set up the perfect atmosphere for the all the birds and small animals in her area and I was amazed to get to observe and photograph many different breeds, that made it possible to then sketch them too...
I have to get moving this morning so more to come on the Seattle trip...
Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend... Bye for now

August 2nd. What????

               I had a very fun, very busy July this year...
Thank You!, Thank You!, Thank You!!!
The first two weeks I spent with family in North Carolina, celebrating Woody's birthday.
We had so much fun, and It went by way to fast...
I also decided to try #worldwatercolormonth, but because I have no more wall space I started doing very small, calendar size, watercolor paintings...Not like me at all, I paint large, and mostly in acrylic paints... I had a great time with the watercolors and the size even though I had a tendency to overwork some of the paintings I am overall pleased with the results and with what I learned along the way... I ended up doing 46 of them.
The second half of July I spent in Seattle, Washington with more family, and I got to see all the improvements that have been made there, as well as, enjoy spending time with the boy...
He is growing and changing so fast and is going to be a first grader this year. Wow!!!
Time is moving at lightning speed ...
It is back to work for me today so I best get busy now.
 Hope everyone has a good week and weekend....
