November Painting Classes

November 19th and 21st will be my last painting classes for the fall.  I have some fun ideas for them!  We will create two paintings that include skies, trees, sunflowers, and....... palette knives.  You will go home with two paintings started, knowing how to complete them.  The day goes fast, with lots of laughter and stories and art talk and coffee!  

If you need inspiration, just look up Vincent Van Gogh. I will bring other artists' samples to give us more ideas.  

Here are small "pieces" taken from our samples:

 Can you tell which are from a Van Gogh painting?

The Saugeen Artists Guild's annual Christmas Gallery and gift shop is up and running!

The store is in a new location this year, but still downtown Hanover.  We are right beside Bruton's Blind Shop, at 275 10th Street.  There are 15 artists involved, bringing you jewelry, mosaic glass, woodworking, pottery, cards, and of course paintings!  Here is my latest large piece, which is on display there.  You will also see my little menagerie of animal faces.  An alpaca will soon be joining them.  

Beaver Valley Farm

This farm is one I see regularly when I drive on the Beaver Valley road to Thornbury.  I have multiple photo references of it!  I took artistic liberties with the colours and some other details.  But there really were cows there!
