Art Parties are the Best!!!

This week I did another Art Party.  They are sooooo fun.  This one was for a surprise birthday party.  Everyone made a flower pot using the palette knives and brushes.  They turned out great.  The mimosas weren't bad either...

Take a peek and enjoy!

The birthday girl was really surprised!!!

Kristen let those creative juices flow...

The finished masterpieces.

Everyone can paint.  I love it when people say, "I can't paint even paint a wall" and then when we finish the class/party, they are amazed at wonderful piece of art they have created. 

Spring Break Is Almost Over

I had a wonderful week of relaxation over spring break.  It was busy and hectic even though we stayed around here. The busy part was that I was getting things in order for the studio build (more to come about this.)  However---I still found  time to enjoy the "CHILLED OUT" life!!!  Here are a few photos of how I spent my down time over the break--not too exciting, but really fun!  One photo I failed to include was me dancing with the Xbox Kinect!

I worked on a few paintings, took art to the Courthouse Coffee, and got supplies ready

for the upcoming art party themed, "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Enjoyed the beautiful weather in my newly painted Adirondack chairs--turquoise of course! 

Painted some new signs for my displays.

Caught up with my reading.  I ordered some mixed media, collage, and

art studio books from Amazon a while back.

Planning out the new studio was really fun.  I found some perfect graph paper online, outlined the 12 x 16 building space, and measured all items I am going to put in the space.  Then, I found the perfect placement for the easels, stools, tables, etc...--along with the where the windows and door will go.  I am hoping this will help the contractor.  I am sooo excited!!!  The groundbreaking is tomorrow.  I'll keep you posted.
