This summer and especially this fall have brought many changes to Artful Endeavors, technologically wise, and I’ve been busily keeping up with the updates. I love the new Droid that will do our credit card charges plus much more; I love my new computer, and now I have amazing high speed internet like the rest of the world; I now have a better phone system with long distance coverage; and we have a wonderful new studio in which to paint in Cary, Chambers Arts studio! All of these changes were brought about by trials and tribulations, (sigh). Rick and I always believe that if we just pay attention, we will happen onto serendipitous occurrences that will turn out to be beneficial and sometimes even delightful.
Now about painting classes, we’re updating the schedule constantly with projects that catch our fancy. Look for holiday and winter themed projects as well as new techniques and ideas. Check our schedule on line frequently for updates.
My watercolor rose class is coming up on Oct 29, that’s a Saturday. Let me know by Oct 15th, that’s next week!, if you are interested in painting with us so that I can plan. I’ll be on vacation the week before the class and need to get you prepared before I leave. I know it’s not a pumpkin or ghost, but it’s sure to be a Halloween treat.
We’ve taken our paintings to the NC State Fair for the decorative painting exhibition. When I took my paintings I saw lots of exciting decorative painting already there. We’re hoping for a big dp display this year so be sure to stop by and see our exhibit. For anyone who goes to the fair and can tell me all of the 7 item that I took this year I’ll have a nice $upri$e. When you visit the exhibit be sure to talk to others who are checking out our paintings and tell them about our studio and classes.
On that same topic, I have advertizing cards for you to spread the word about our studio and classes. Ask me for some.
Are you doing your holiday shopping? I have lots of paintings at the studio that are for sale if you want some for someone special. I’ll have some of them on line as soon as I can get a little time to post them so you can even order from me.
And, We have gift certificates for class and supplies. Tell your family that you would like a gift certificate from Artful Endeavors. I know you need some new brushes. I also have cards, holiday and otherwise, to send to your friends.
Tip: Think about printing your own cards to send this year. Take a digital file to one of the office supply stores or printers and have them make cards for you. What a special treat for those you think of during the holidays.
I wanted to show you some of the fun we had at our anniversary open house. The painters had fun creating cat’s eyes dominoes. And we picked up some new students!
I mentioned my upcoming vacation, yeah, at the end of the month. It’s time for our yearly trip to the mountains with my family, and lots of picture taking of the wonderful fall scenery. Hope there is still a little color left on the trees by the time we get there because we’re going a little later than usual, although that could have its own benefits.
I’ll be out of the studio Oct 22-28th.
Carol will be teaching her beautiful, textured glass, poinsettia ornament while I’m on vacation. Don’t miss this class!
Register now.
Have you notice the beautiful completed landscapes painted by Donna and Jean? If not scroll down. I’m so proud. We have such talented students.
Keep painting.
