Animated Animals I created backgrounds for many of these images. Some busy and some very calm. Folks pick a photo of their favorite animal and painted on top of the background. Some added to the background and had fun with the concept. It brings a smile to my face!
Still Life from Life
From the Farm
Surrealism I am turning a new direction in the class concept. My students trust me
enough to follow my lead and now is the time for a major shift in their
growth.
Even for the newbies as I call them. The class had inspirational images to
help guide them like birds and flowers and some faces yet they had to sketch
their own vision and paint in the colors of their choice.
Well just look at them FLY!
Earth Tones with Patterns and Faces
Angels In Honor of the passing of my Dear Friend Kate Canon we painted Angels. She would have loved these images. The Friday Class did something unique and I am so proud of them for their
willingness to stretch. They sketched their angel out of their imagination
and then painted the piece.
Form, Figure & Face This is the first of July Form, Figure and Face classes and though it was a struggle for some, the results were lovely.

Honoring Van Gogh Notice that Van Gogh's brushwork tends to follow the form of what he was
painting. Think of how the sunlight radiates, how the ground undulates, how
the foliage grows, etc. He painted with thick and very deliberate strokes of
paint.

Vibration This class was focused on smooth edges and drifting one color into another. The vibration of energy a piece creates is all in the balance of light and dark.
