We’re stocking up at the studio. Paints have arrived from DecoArt and the paint rack is full. Our paints for Ros’ seminar are here and the Traditions Green Blue that we used with Bob Pennycook is in stock now as well as the Quin Gold.

And if you haven’t check out the wood items from Leon, you should. Those of you who have asked for stools and benches especially.

Our wood for Ros’ seminar is here and ready to be reserved of picked up.

We have lots of canvas sizes now too. I have the 12x24” for the Paris painting, the 16x20” for the Red Truck and so many other designs that we are painting, and the square 10x10’s and 12x12” canvases for Ros’ seminar.

I’ve added new Simply Art Workshops, our 3 hr to complete the painting workshops, that have been so popular. Painters have asked for beach and light house paintings so here they are.  We’re working on ideas for our summer schedule so come help us plan.

Lots of new techniques in this beautiful Willow Wolf design.

Student's Work

I have such talented students.  Check out their paintings.

Last weekend the Capital Area Decorative Artists hosted a very successful seminar with Bob Pennycook at Artful Endeavors. Bob was an excellent teacher with lots of exciting and easy techniques for us to learn. Be sure to visit his web site to see his wonderful art.

Summer's End ArtFling

What's the Summer's End ArtFling you ask?
Gail Schmidt (my very good friend) from Shabby Cottage Studio and Creative Workshops online classes and I are teaming up again this summer to bring you an exciting Aug weekend workshop/retreat at Artful Endeavors.

Gail will teach some splendid design, mixed media, journal creating techniques.  I've seen her working sample and I want to do that! Just so you know, Gail is artistically fearless and has an awesome design sense that she willingly shares. We always learn so much and have such fun with Gail. She is very creatively inspiring.
I will bring some fabulous different painting techniques including an original new design never before offered.

I'll have more details a little later, but save the dates, Aug 24-26, 2012. It's our ArtFling before fall activities begin.

Old Red Truck

I finished the Old Red Truck and it was so much fun to paint.
I've always wanted an 1940s red Chevy. It's such a classically beautiful design. Since I can't have an actual truck I've painted one. Maybe not a Chevy but red none the less.
Love this Dorothy Dent design.
