Art on Jewelry for Mothers Day

I know there is still a foot of snow on the ground... and I know the birds are not singing spring songs ... but the sunshine today prompts serious planning for my upcoming art shows and festivals. I have just started playing around with some new ideas.... what do you think? Art in miniature intrigues me. :-)

The view from String Bridge, Exeter, NH

One of my favorite places .... standing on String Bridge looking to the falls near the library. It is just "so Exeter". This painting, just off the easel, is on an 11x14 deep profile canvas and has been coated with a UV resistant varnish. The image is from a photo I took on a much warmer day.... now it is just pure winter outside - burr. I hope you enjoy this small bit of visual warmth :-). Happy Holidays.

Button Factory Studios Saturday & Sunday 11-5

George Beland, Sarah Minor, Erin Moran, Todd Bonita, Mega Stelzer, Robin Bettencourt, Julie Schmidt, Darlene Furbush Ouellet, oh my gosh just to name a few....  at the Button Factory
Get your cozy kicks on and pile in a car with your best friends.
See you there!

A little warmth.....

On the easel ... some thing to take the chill off. Now all I need is my cup of tea and some dark chocolate. I am getting ready for the Button Factory again this year December 7 and 8... so happy they've had me back as a guest artist for the event. The energy for the open house is amazing.... one of the highlights of the holiday art season.

Painting lessons....

"I want to explore something different. I want to create. I need a little time... to nurture my soul. I really want to paint something for my child's room.... my sister.... my first art show....."
I hear so many good reasons for stepping out of the box. Call me if you are ready.
I teach adults on a very flexible basis. If you want some one-on-one time (here at my studio) with drawing or beginning acrylic painting... or if you want to paint on your own but need an occasional consultation, let me know. The times available are roughly 9 or 11am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays mornings. The cost is $35 an hour.
I will schedule the same one-hour time slot for you each week (which usually spills over a bit for catching up and sharing ideas). Then I send you on your way to make the world a more colorful place. :-)
Some students come every week. Some have come every other week. Some have scheduled consultations once every two months or so.
I am currently taking sign-ups starting mid October. Happy fall, everyone.
