This coming Wed the afternoon group will start Jo Sonja's Harvest fruit. I have two sides of my meal bin painted. It's a work in progress. Here you'll see my fruits that I have completed. Jo has two packets with variations of this wonderful fruit design and we liked them both. The painters are choosing their surface and which design they would like to paint. Most of them are painting on a metal surface such as a tin meal box, vintage cake plate and cover, or old silver plate. It's really fun to paint on a different surface.
They are painting the one design with the pumpkin over the next 3 weeks. You still have time to join us.
We may have to paint the pineapple side too, a little later.
Also, I'm working on the "Country Vineyard" which the Wed evening class starts on Apr 8. Yes, that starts soon, too. Actually the piece is a old wall and stone arch using texture products and through the arch you see a scene. Our inspiration piece shows a vineyard but of course I couldn't just follow the pattern. I had to paint my own scene, the field behind our house. Love it! Rick even recognized it. I enclosing the photo of the beginning of this painting which show the field. As soon as I publish this blog, I'll get back to painting. Hope you enjoy watching this painting evolve. Here's what I have so far.
Be sure to check the schedule page since we are always adjusting our schedules!
