Fall at Artful Endeavors

It's fall and although the weather can't make up its mind to cool off, we're into some lively autumn painting. Our theme this year seems to be to paint as many pumpkins as we can work into the schedule.

We've just finished a wonderful Dorothy Dent Pumpkin and Squash design that we all loved and a Bob Pennycook pumpkin and pear design on a terrific metallic gold background. And we have one more beautiful Pumpkin still life coming up on Oct 19, 10a-4p. We just couldn't resist. There's still time to join us for this one.

Check out the class schedules. Raleigh.   Cary. 

Last Wed we changed seasons and painted a couple of fun ornaments for the holidays. We have a couple of Santas to paint in Oct and Nov. Don your holiday spirit and join us.

In Nov our seminar with Kathie George is happening with 2 of her most awesome batik designs and a beautiful mixed media. There are still seats available so register now. I have patterns and rice paper. I have already sent our patterns to our registered attendees.

Next week I leave for two weeks! Rick and I are heading to Pensacola, Fla. where I'll teach a seminar and he'll do some photography. As soon as we return we're off to the mts for our yearly vacation. Hope to see some fall colors appearing.  I'll be out of the studio Oct 4-18.

Carol is teach one of her terrific ornament classes for us Oct 17, 10-1p. Be sure to register this week to get in on this event.

So if you plan to join us for Kathie's seminar, Carol's ornament, or the Pumpkin Still Life on Oct 19th, register now so that I can get prep to you.

Our Wed evening classes are on hold right now. We're pausing for us to catch up with our life happenings. Come paint with us in Cary or our Raleigh day classes. I plan to restart after the first of the year. Let me know if you are interested in Wed evening classes in Raleigh.

The NC State Fair is coming up soon and I'm looking forward to seeing your painting on display. It's exciting to show our community what terrific painting we are doing.

Speaking of exhibit, our Cary painters and I have paintings on exhibit at Chambers Arts right now. We'll be featured at Final Friday and for several weeks. We'd love for you to see our paintings. Go see this wonderful studio/gallery where we are fortunate to hold our Tue evening classes.

Hope to see you at classes soon!
