Release Your Inner Artists Painting class

Come paint, munch on some tasty snacks, while sipping tea (or coffee) and find your inner artist!

Don’t know how to paint or draw? No worries because no experience is required! Don’t consider yourself “artistic” or “creative”? I am a professional artist (with over 12 years of teaching experience) and I specialize in teaching beginners and those who don’t see themselves as creative . I am very good at coaxing out your inner artist. :)

Have fun exploring your creativity in an encouraging environment with me as your guide. I’ll be taking you step by step through the painting process in an easy to follow format, but you get to choose your colors, explore your creative side, and express your individual style. No “cookie cutter” paintings here!

This is a 2-1/2 hour acrylic painting class with all supplies included (you’ll be using my artist quality paint, brushes, and painting on a 12″x12″ stretched canvas). You will leave with a beautiful finished painting you will be proud show to your friends and family! You wont be able to wait to hang it in your home!

Be sure to visit the local workshops page for pictures of one of these fun classes in session!

Breakfast anyone?

20130212-102511.jpgI've realized my need for heartier breakfasts on studio days since I never eat a "real lunch" when working. I get in the midst of creating and I find it hard to stop...especially when I'm having a "good" day where things are flowing and coming together quickly (and you other creatives out there all know how that goes...the whole ebb and flow thing). How 'bout you?

This morning I made myself a fresh strawberry and coconut milk smoothie with scrambled egg on gluten-free toast (Udi's brand is my fave and it was on sale this morning at Safeway) with a smidgen of apricot preserves. I like to keep things as simple as possible these days when it comes to food. I've found that for me, it keeps me eating healthy. If its too complicated, I'm less likely to stick with it. :)

Well, I'm off to get a shower (the boys used up all the hot water this morning, so mine had to wait), then I'm off to the studio for a few hours before I have to pick up the kiddo from school. Have a good one y'all! xoxo
