Summer Love

 

Some paintings I displayed at this years' Art in the Garden event at the Baillie House in Merritt. I sold the Field of Daffodils and Spring Lilacs. The Granny Smith and Mr. Pear paintings were taken on a trial and later exchanged for purchase of another painting. 

 

  

Fresh Pear Inspiration

I bought a box of green pears and they looked so yummy, I decided to set up a still life and paint them.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the finished painting from my inspiration.

Puerto Vallarta Workshop

Day one of the workshop was spent doing our "underpainting", starting with the Seascape in the morning and finishing with the Bird of Paradise. The goal of the day was to completely cover both canvases with acrylic paint.











Cheryl arranged for a delicious lunch both days from local restaurant "Baguettes & Ensaladas", including wonderful fruit smoothies.




The second day we used water based oil paint to complete the details and make the paintings "sing".

Painting in Paradise

PUERTO VALLARTA, Feb. 16 & 18

In February I will be in Puerto Vallarta where my dear friend and fellow artist, Cheryl Wheeler has kindly arranged a two-day painting workshop for me to teach at.

At the Bayview Grand in Marina Vallarta, in a gazebo next to the beach, you'll enjoy all day painting in a stunning natural setting, and lunches will be served in style at the Villa on the property.

Two Day Painting Workshop Includes:

Instruction

2 Canvases

Oil Paint Materials

2 Scrumptious Lunches

Your very own original works of art -

the seascape and the bird of paradise.

Registration is $175

Registration is based on limited space.

RSVP to Cheryl by email at: cw@cherylwheelerart.com

Two fun-filled days of learning and creating, with two of your own fabulous oil paintings to take home. The first day will be spent establishing form, light and shadow, and base or ground and the second day your paintings come alive with detail. I know everyone will enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

August at the Painted Petal

It's already August, and the vegetable garden is thriving and because of Coley, the grass is still green. Tons of watering to do every day. Here are a few photos Stephanie took while visiting at the beginning of this month.
