Birthday Party in My Studio

 My granddaughter and her friend enjoyed painting in my studio for her private birthday party. They both painted a wonderful little floral painting and really were quite good. Many of my children and grandchildren have artistic talents and it is fun to watch them blossom.

Master Class Artists Always Astound Me

 It is always fun (but exhausting) for me to have four students come into my studio once a month for two days of painting together. After a couple of hours of instruction, they work on their own paintings for the remainder of the time. We have several critiques where we all help each other with problems, and give encouragement. I am always impressed as I was in my April class.
