Decorative Painting Classes Update

I'll be on vacation from classes Aug 1 - 17th. I'll be back and ready to paint on Aug 18. Plan to join me!

Here are our Aug classes starting the week of the 18th.

Tue 6:15p in Cary we start the dramatic Tiger bench. This is a great design by Glenice Moore and Leon our wood man has built a wonderful bench for it.

Wed 10am we start Ros' window view. The original window overlooked the beach but you can choose your own view out of the window. Just bring a photo from which you can design your view. Check out Ros' fall window.

Wed 2p we'll start the Nativity or Ronnie Bringle's Three Kings. Come ready for some fun dry brushing.


Wed 6:30p is your chance to paint the Cardinal Snow Globe ornament. Start your Holiday painting now.

Ros Stallcup Seminar 2008

What a great seminar we had with Ros. Our seminar with Ros is always the painting highlite of our summer. You need to come by the studio to see the paintings that I created during the seminar. I especially like the winter scene stool.

Here are a few glimpses of our seminar. We'll have lots more photos on the web site soon. Click on the photo for a larger view.

New Look For Artful Endeavors Blog

How do you like the new look for our blog? My loyal friend Gail Schmidt helped me change our look. Gail designed the great new blog header from my paintings and I love. If you would like to see more of Gail's header designs click Gail.

New Inspiration Blog

My friend Gail/wonderful artist/designer who owns Shabby Cottage Studio has a new blog! It's called Mind Wide Open and although it is brand new it is already inspiring people and lots of conversation!

The purpose of Mind Wide Open is to inspire people to get in the creative mood. Every month a Challenge Contest is held with a $20.00 shopping spree and free shipping at Shabby Cottage Studio. Gail's prices are really great and $20.00 will buy a lot of fun!

Everyone is welcome to come play at Mind Wide Open no matter your medium! Whether you paint, collage, sew, it doesn't matter....the idea is to spark your creativity.
