Holiday Schedule Dec 2011-Jan 2012

It's really here, the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 is coming quickly. We've had a great year of painting at Artful Endeavors with terrific students, classes, seminars, and what ever else we could get paint onto. We have some wonderful paintings to show for this year's creative exploits, including more exciting "paint your own" designs from our talented and adventure seeking students.

Although our regular classes have ended for the year, we have a couple of classes we've added so that we can squeeze in as much painting as possible into 2011.  So here is my schedule for the holidays:

Next week:  I'll be in the studio Mon - Wed. If you would like to stop by, give me a call to make sure I haven't go out to run an errand.
Tue Dec 20 we will paint Trudy's Tree, with the snow bunnies, in Cary, 6:15p-8:30p.
Wed Dec 21 I'll have an open class in the Raleigh studio, 10a-12:30, and 2p-4P.

The studio will be closed from Dec 22-Jan 2.

Jan 4, 2012 is our Tjap workshop. 10a-2:30p.  Those of us with Tjap stamps will have them available to share more of the fun and exciting batik techniques that Kathie George introduced to us.  Join us for this play day!  Supplies and paper included.  $60 for those with out their own Tjap stamp.  I've added a pay on line link so that you can register now.

We've been glad to have new students join our happy band of painters this year.  Through our Deal Saver in the News and Observer I've met some "nice"( since this a boring word just by itself, I looked it up in the thesaurus and found the following adjectives of similar meaning which are all applicable) pleasant, kind, respectable, good-looking, accomplished, subtle, and fine individuals who are interested in painting and  I'm hoping we'll see these students return to join us in the new year.

 Plan ahead and join us for our Portrait Workshop in Feb. Start looking for that photo of someone that you would like to paint. You'll need to come talk to me about prep and colors before the class, so don't delay.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with fun, family, and friends.  I'll look forward to seeing all of you in the new year.
