Copper Plate

"Copper Plate" was painted in Dee Macy's class last summer in Stowe, Vermont. Dee has a gorgeous studio and a heart full of motivation and love of painting. I thoroughly enjoyed the color scheme and the tiles contrasted with the strawberries! This painting looks very nice with a big old world style chunky frame.

Orchids With Purple

This painting was done with the Village Walk Oil Painters Group. Our non orthodox approach is for me to paint with everyone. I did that in the past with a private and the young girl was so happy to leave with a painting that she liked and she painted all by herself. We discuss each level of problems and work them out. I've been told that these "discussions while doing" help immensely and I must admit, the girls in this group are coming out with consistently beautiful work. KUDOS!

Side point: This painting is a 12 x 16, which is a very difficult size to frame with all ready made frames, so I'm staying away from this size in the future.

Happy Painting!

"Sunflowers"

This painting was done last summer in Dee Macy's class in Stowe, Vermont. So, she gets some credit! I love Dee! She has a lovely way about her and I really appreciate her fine work. You should google her and take a look at her stuff.
