The art of the season!

Just got the tree up yesterday. We

took it from the bucket in the garage

and juggled the screws until it seemed

straight. Is it ever? Well with the lights

and ornaments on, it is yet another

season of loveliness to enjoy. I trust

that all of you are doing that with

your holiday preparations as well!

Student set-up

A student of mine has created this beautiful set-up

to learn more about painting glass and also doing

a flower. The cast shadow of the vase is really quite

fabulous I think!

Flowers are among the more difficult

things to paint and so I like to have students start

with one that has only a simple petal formation.

Perhaps she will let me post her painting when it

is done. So far she has just created this and next

lesson will be doing the drawing before beginning

to paint.
