Painting In Kansas

Hey Painters
I wanted to remind you – - – If you’ve been thinking about coming to Kansas in April to paint this wonderful “Man Chest” it’s time to send your deposit.
I would like to get everything organized for you by the end of February so would like to have a head count by then.
We have such a great time staying and painting at the Holiday Inn Express where you can paint all day, then sit in the hot tub or take a swim after class to work out all the “kinks”.  Pittsburg, KS isn’t a large town, but we do have some nice places to eat and a Wal Mart.  Painting, eating, and shopping – what could be better than that?!
The class is small so there is lots of individual attention in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Maybe you deserve a break and a little vacation!
I’ve included some photos to remind you of the project.  There are several ways to register for the class.  You can do everything on my website here if you want to and either pay in full or pay a deposit.  Or you can send a check to me for the full payment or just the deposit of $125.
Father’s Day is less than 5 months away (hint, hint)

A Happy Accident

Hey Painters
While standing in the line at Walgreens a few days ago I happened to notice this Time publication about George Washington.  Loving all things patriotic I had to have it, and wanted you to know how fabulous it it!  It makes the history of George interesting, just hitting on the high points and has lots of wonderful pictures.  Lots of paintings I had never seen before and WELL worth the $13.00 I paid for it.  I really enjoyed seeing the art work.
The retail sticker says “display until 4/6/12 so there’s still time for you to find one if you’re interested.
Enjoy!

Looking for a Project?

Hey Painters
Have you been watching the “Bowl of Fruit” videos and you want to try some of the techniques, but have been reluctant to try such a detailed project?  Well then, I have the project for you!
This little 8″ X 8″ project would be a fun one on which to practice your skills.  And it’s a cute little piece that would fit almost anywhere or could be painted on soooooo many different surfaces from stools to boxes to shelves and more………….

Through The Window

 

You can see it on my website here and click on the packet/still life buttons.   Hope you enjoy! and Paint Happy!

……and Speaking of Spring

Hey Painters
After a long winter’s rest with no seminars I’m getting ready to get back on the road this spring and looking forward to my upcoming seminars.
I’ll be teaching for the Bella Vista Decorative Artists  in Arkansas on April 13 and 14.  I thought you might like to see the projects, and if you are in the area or thinking about traveling to Bella Vista you might want to get in a little painting on that weekend.
I’ll post some pics here, but all the information is on the website here and just click on the “seminars” button.

Signs of Spring

Hey Painters
Another sign that spring is just around the corner.  I couldn’t resist putting some sheets on the line today.  My sister is coming for a visit next week and I thought she would enjoy the nice fresh smell of sun dried sheets.  What says “homey” more than the sight of laundry blowing in the breeze?

Doesn't get any better than this

And I had to take the opportunity to do just a little “spring” clean up.  But the weather man tells me I’m jumping the gun – he is forecasting snow for tomorrow.  Good thing I got the sheets done today!

I started a new painting project today, and can’t wait to share it with you when it’s a little further along.  Hope you’re painting too!

Paint Happy

Ronnie
