Beginner's Success

I guided a student through figures and faces, ending with this face and exploring general proportions and shadows.  I asked her if she has ever drawn a face before and she replied that she hadn't. 

Took me by surprise! As first attempts go, this is probably the best I've ever seen.

New Horizons

The assisted living facillity tried out a painting workshop for the first time; I had 7 participants and one observer which was a very good turn-out - better than expected.  All really enjoyed the process (despite misgivings from time to time, naturally) and are looking forward to next week's adventure.

Would you have guessed that these were done by people with little or no experience?  I was very excited with the results and hope it goes as well when we 'do' mushrooms.  ; )

Craft Fair 2010

The Art Club Team - cramming as many paintings on and around the table as we possibly could.  Penny is posing with the bear paw mittens she purchased from a craft table.  I had my best Fair ever, selling all four of my recently completed paintings and we sold 3 more by a couple of the ladies there.
I dropped a bundle of cash on various items, which was no doubt fueled by the regular sale of paintings.
Time to produce something for the Craft fair in the mall in 3 weeks time!
