PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING CLASS

I am posting some photos from our yesterday's afternoon class.  This is such a great group and as you can see, quite talented.  I am having a really good time working with them.   At least for the start up, we are all painting from one of my photographs, learning to simplify a photograph into shapes,  learning how to mix colors we want, and how to apply them to the canvas with a palette knife.  I am seeing beautiful results.

Thank you to Kathleen Curran for taking these photos.  Kathleen is one of our very talented gallery artists.

Coffee and Conversation

There was not much coffee drinking, but we had a good visit and a knitting demonstration.  I gave the knitting demo and was surprised I had to look at my book to remember how to purl!!  )You know how it is when you are trying to show someone how to do something.)  We now have plenty of practice yarn, thanks to Jan H.
JoBeth Force also came and brought her hand beaded  jewelry.  (she's not a knitter)  It was exquisite!!!!  The craftsmanship and design work were something to see!!!!  Some of the other ladies decided they might need Jo Beth to custom-make some pieces.  Truely works of art!!!!  It was such a nice surprise.  Don't forget the first Wednesday of March (the 3rd) for more C & C!
