Cat Nap

I finished the Kathie George batik, Cat Nap, that I will teach on Sat, May 24. Isn't he cute? He was definitely lots of fun and I am looking forward to sharing this technique, wax and paint, with you. Click on the picture to see him watching you.

We have one seat left in the class. If you would like to join us please contact me immediately.

Helping the Triangle Area

We’re painting mirrors! One of our painters, Barb Watts who is a member of ALTA, the Assistance League of The Triangle, has brought us mirrors, a little used and needing paint, that have been donated to the ALTA thrift shop. Some of our painters have volunteered to paint a mirror which will then be for sell in the thrift shop. ALTA is a wonderful organization that helps triangle women and children in need. You can find information on ALTA at www.altriangle.org. If you would like to help us by painting a mirror, contact me at Artful Endeavors. You can paint anything you would like for adult or child. No time limit. I have a limited number of mirrors at the studio. This is a great opportunity to help those in need in our own community.

The ALTA, Antiques to Zippers, resale thrift shop also would gratefully accept any other painted items, or unpainted, that you would like to donate. They are located at 1689-A North Market Dr, just off of Old Wake Forest Rd. Have you asked yourself “Who can I paint that for?” Now you know.

This is our before photo. We'll let you see the after painting photos as the finished mirrors arrive.

Upcoming Seminars

Our seminar with Ronnie Bringle is approaching quickly. We are preparing our surfaces and looking forward to painting with Ronnie. Soon we'll have Santa in May!

Ros Stallcup's seminar sample painting have arrived! And we have a great selection this year. Please come by to see them. I have prep for our seminar participants and will have surfaces soon. We are full for this seminar and have a wait list. Let Liz know if you would like to be on the wait list.

Our seminar with Kathie George, Sept 29 & 30, is nearly full but there are a few seats left. Monday will be our batik with the Poppies and Tue we'll paint the mixed media, Crows in my garden. If you are interested in learning these exciting techniques from a wonderful artist and teacher contact Liz soon.

Liz is teaching a batik class on May 24, Sat as an introduction to Kathie's techniques. Contact Liz to register. We'll paint a fun Cat Nap, sleeping cat, from Kathie's designs.

Painting Portraits

We are in the midst of another portrait class! I enjoy teaching these classes and seeing the progress of each student. They are doing great and I can see steady improvement. Watch for more portrait classes.

The portrait below was painted by Carol Burns and is a wonderful likeness of her daughter.
