Painting Series from travel photos

Classes are still on hold, I'll be back teaching in the studio sometime next year, but until then I am on sabbatical and hope you'll follow along.

My son headed off to college this summer and I quickly reclaimed his room.  A thorough scrub down revealed multiple work surfaces and good natural light! I added a rug and a nice quilt to the lofted bed and that was about it. My new studio space was ready.

In my last last blog post I shared my entry for the Dear Ballard greeting card fundraiser. That seems to have been the starting point for my new small body of work which I have titled #fromwhenwecouldtravel
I am so thankful for all the travel opportunities that I have had. Going through the thousands of photos brightens my days and fills me with inspiration. I had a watercolor block of blank postcards that I started with and have since moved onto a 5X7 block of watercolor paper. I get up everyday excited to make my morning Chai and get started! 


The journey starts in Burano, Italy....


A number 8 brush and whatever watercolors I had on hand.





Ikea road trip for some frames.

Kids Fall Art Classes


Fall classes are now enrolling! Classes are small, reserve your spot soon.


Here's a few shots from this summers Color Camp for 6-8 year olds.  


Students started with primary colors, mixed their own secondary colors and then created tints of all their colors to make a bicycle color wheels.


We used our color wheel paintings through the week to understand complimentary colors and create color palettes for paintings.


Kandinsky inspired watercolor paintings with oil pastel resist.




Oil pastel self portraits with ice cream!
