September Challenge - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days

Yes, I have accepted the challenge. Beginning September 1, 2016 I will paint 30 paintings in 30 days along with over 1500 other artists from all over the globe and post them daily on my blog. So, if you're wondering where I'll be for the month of September, it's safe to say I'll be in the studio!

Day One -  coming soon...

Aloha Art Demo Party

"Hawaiian" was the Theme and "Fun" was the Scheme on Wednesday, August 10th.
Hosting a party in my new art studio last week was especially fun with the talented and crazy group of artist friends that I have. We ate, sang, danced and enjoyed a fabulous watercolor demo by our new friend and talented artist, Joann Mathews.
Here are some highlights in picture form...  I'm hoping my friends will send me a few of their pictures so I can add them to the mix.

Exhibit at Hermitage Library

Had the opportunity to display my Fine Art and Barbie Furniture at the Hermitage Library. My granddaughters, Rachael, Julianna, Abigail and Baylee and I had fun putting the display together. The collection will be there until the end of July.

Our Class

Workshops in the Spring - what a fabulous match. I recently enjoyed attending Kanuga Watermedia Workshop with a couple of my friends, Vickie and Dee. We traveled by car the 4-1/2 hours it took to get there. (Thank you, Vickie Majors, for driving and for keeping us entertained in the car!) Kanuga is located near beautiful Asheville, North Carolina and if you've never been there, you're missing out - it's beautiful there in the Spring. Tulips galore - Dee made sure she took plenty of pics! I signed up for classes with Artist, Jeannie McGuire whose eclectic figures and portraits are pretty spectacular. I enjoyed her class thoroughly and thanks to her, I am excited to hopefully see a new dimension in my own work. Time will tell. Thank you, Jeannie, for being a part of Kanuga and sharing your wonderful works of art and expertise with us.

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

Just completed two watercolor pieces of a sweet little girl, granddaughter to my long distance friends, Lynn and Terry Green.
