In The Works

In the works in my dining room studio. I gave up a long time ago on having a formal dining room and just turned it into my studio.    Unfortunately, folks who don't know me and come to my front door hardly ever get to see my finished art.  Instead, they see things like this.

And I know they must wonder about me.

Backing up doesn't help.  You just see more stuff "in the works."

Sometimes I hang unfinished work on the wall - to study it and decide what to do next.  I forget it's hanging there until I catch a visitor looking at it and wondering if I'm crazy.

This morning it's really deep in here and I need to stop and dig my way out.

Every now and then it looks a little neater.

I have to stop and clean out a spot to take a photo.

Of course this is just the table top where I work.  You did notice that I didn't show the rest of my "studio" didn't you?

If you haven't checked out my painting classes and the craft classes at T.F. Rice & Co. - you are really missing out on a lot of fun.   The "Margarita" class was a great success.

 

Last Thursday we played in the "Craft Room" and painted on canvas to make banners. 

 

 

Kathi made a banner with paint and buttons.

 

 

Sharon (a.k.a. Superwoman) mistook the banner as her cape.

 

Susan painting dragonflies.

 

The finished "Dragonfly" banner. 

 

Come Play With Us Every Other Thursday. 

Next Play Date- Thursday, June 20th.

 

Our last paint "Paris" class was a major success.  Everyone chose these panaromic canvases that are 8" x 24" and got REAL creative in their lettering.  I love that each canvas came out different.  Lot's of folks are afraid to do artwork with lettering but you would be surprised at how easy (and fun) this project is.  Click on "Painting Classes" at the top of the page for our other classes.
