I just finished taking an online workshop from Dennis Perrin. He is an absolutely amazing painter of roses. I have admired his work for years. When he announced he was teaching an online class, I couldn't resist. This is the first of several rose paintings I've been working on as I try to absorb his process. I think it might also be my best.

When I saw this bottle in an antique shop recently, I immediately knew it had to come home with me. There's just something about a wine bottle wrapped in it's own little basket. :)

A pre-Christmas painting of roses. You wouldn't believe how many post-Christmas paintings of roses I have! They'll be coming soon!

For anyone who receives email updates of my blog - I noticed the Youtube video I created didn't come through. Here is a link if you would like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgvuTtaSsww

The last and my favorite ornament painting of this season. Teaching classes in downtown Snohomish has it's advantages and disadvantages. The street the art studio is located on is full of antique shops and boutiques with lots and lots and lots of prop collecting opportunities. If I'm not careful it's easy to spend what I just made teaching! On the other hand I've found some pretty cool props. This antique Christmas ornament is one of them.

 

I spent the weekend learning how to make Youtube videos with my iPhone. Crazy right? I made my first art instructional video today. It's very rough. I certainly need practice but you're welcome to check it out if you like. It's about 8 minutes long...

Whew! Look at all that red. I certainly got my red fix this Christmas. It was also fun painting the shiny white ribbon and the interesting shadows it cast.

This is a demo from my last oil painting class before Christmas. I painted ornaments and poinsettias hanging from a ribbon last year and liked the idea so well I thought my students might enjoy it too. I was sure I had photos of the class in action painting these ornaments but for the life of me I can't find them. My photo organizing skills definitely need some improvement.
