Goodbye 2012

We've just finished our last class of 2012 and we completed the last of our wonderful painting for this year.  It's been a busy year with lots of terrific paintings created, technique and theory learned, and new friends introduced to painting with us.  I hope to see many of the new students from the past year's Deal Saver class return for more painting fun.

I want to wish all of you a very merry holiday season full of family, friends, and health. Let's leave the flu bugs behind in 2012 and start the new year off with lots of healthy days.

You are all invited to join us for our 
New Year of Painting Party 2013!
Our holiday party to celebrate our  
New Year of Painting is 
Jan 6, 2013, 2p-4p. 
Plan to join us for some painting fun, class registration, and socializing. I have a special treat for anyone who would like to paint with us, a frog pendant.  This cute design is from Peggy Harris and painted easily so no prior painting experience is needed.  Bring your friends or family and come paint with us.  We’ll start painting at 2:30p.  This class is my present to you.

I’ll have the schedule for Winter 2013 ready for you to see samples and register for classes.
Bring a snack to share if you would like.  Also bring any paintings that you would like for others to see.

Please let me know if you plan to paint so that I can have adequate painting supplies ready for you.

Our schedules for the beginning of 2013 are posted and I think we have some excellent classes planned both in Raleigh and in Cary.  There are classes for our weekly students full of imagination, theory, and technique.
Plus…
Our 3hr workshops are excellent whether you are just starting to paint with us (no painting experience is required) or whether you just like our project and the idea that you walk out with a finished painting in 3 hrs.

I hope to see you in class soon.

2013 Cat's Eyes Workshop

I just finished the painting for one of our 3 hr workshops coming up the firs of 2013. It was so much fun to paint my cat, Dusty, for this class.  He has the most amazing eyes as do most cats. For this workshop you can bring a cat photo of your own to paint, or you can paint Dusty.
We have more exciting workshops planned for 2013 so plan to join us.

Here is the painting as it progresses, starting with the eyes.
