Roaming the Village

Oil on Canvas Panel

7" x 5"

Oh, my! We had some terrific bird paintings come out of class last month. Yes, our theme was chickens.  I found this fellow calmly dodging a toddler at Country Village in Bothell.

On a separate note, after weeks of feverishly working on paintings for the Rexville Grange show, I'm happy to say they are done and delivered! For those who are interested in attending this great little show while they are checking out the daffodils or tulips in Mt. Vernon...

Nikki's Eggs

Oil on Linen Panel

7" x 5"

 

A demo from my Wednesday morning oil painting class. After a summer break, we are back at it next week. I'm very excited to have a full class of wonderful students. If anyone is interested, I've also added a Monday evening class for those who have to work or take care of kids during the day.

 

There are unexpected benefits to teaching. One of my students, Nikki, has hens. During a particularly prolific egg laying period she brought in beautiful, fresh eggs for us to paint and take home!  In addition to raising fine, egg-laying chickens, Nikki is a wonderful artist and teaches art to children.
