Painting in the New Year


Here are a few more of our 2008 painting projects that we can look forward to.

Sunrise Ocean is a wonderful William Powell design that I originally painted with him many years ago in oils. We'll paint in acrylics of course.

The Paris Grocery is a great Linda Lock, altered art design, with texture and photo transfers.





The fruit basket was originally painted by Ronnie Bringle using her fun drybrushing techniques.

We'll learn lots of new techniques from all of these projects.

Holiday Spirit


The holidays are approaching quickly at Artful Endeavors and we are finishing up our 2007 paintings. Next week will be our last week of class for this year! If you would like to come on Wed afternoon next week, 12/12, we are having an open class where you can work on finishing a project. Just let me know if you plan to join us.

And, do plan to join us next week for lunch at 12 noon. We're saving our official holiday party until Jan 5, Sat, 10a - 2p, when we have our open house/welcome back to painting in 2008 party. Come enjoy more paintings from our students and teachers as well as Liz's art for sale. See the new projects coming up in winter 2008, sign up for classes, pick up instructions and surfaces, and bring friends. We'll have some delicious refreshments, too.

It is time to start thinking about Jan classes. The preps are ready for you at the studio. We have some exciting projects planned, many that a lot of you have requested. It's time to register now. Scroll down for the schedule. The web site will be updated soon also.

Please tell your friends and family that we have gift certificates that you can apply to classes or supplies.

After our classes next week, I will be out of the studio, taking some time to enjoy my family, friends, and the holidays. Be sure to come by next Mon, Tue, or Wed to catch me and pick up prep or supplies. I'll be back in the studio Jan 2 & 3, 2008.

Our seminar registration has been fast and furious. Ginger is putting the finishing strokes on our paintings and we should have photos soon. We still have seats available for all days.

Be sure to look at Ronnie's santa below. He is wonderful! Registration is open and seats filling.

We are almost full for our seminar with Ros in July. Call soon if you would like to paint with us. We'll see her paintings later this spring.

Have a great holiday and we'll see you soon.
