Venetian Facade

Venetian Facade is a Karlyn Holman class I taught at Hobby Lobby and the girls did awesome with the project.  I posted it on my face book page and got some very sweet comments.  Kelly Lynn Escue Hargrove posted that she wanted it, and my reply was it is yours.  Well within minutes I had e-mails and phone calls saying why did you give that away.

Just so you know I got joy just picking out the project, I got joy painting the project and I got joy teaching the project, I got joy sharing the painting with friends and then when my little sister that was born on my 19th Birthday – whom I never shared a home with, but we did share a Daddy that died recently, and to my knowledge, she has never asked me for anything.  I got such joy giving her this painting and I hope she get joy having it in her home.

THAT is what art is to me the joy of my heart – making me have an artist heart.

Lettering brush for Ros Stallcup seminar

Hi everyone,

I’m sure after looking over the supply list for Ros Stallcup’s upcoming seminar, you might be wondering where you can get the lettering brush she has listed on her supply list.  I know I was wondering.  So, I emailed our wonderful Cindy Moore and asked her.  Here is what she found out for us regarding the lettering brush.  Thank you Cindy for checking on this for us.  Melissa

Dear Cindy,

 The Scharff #170 brush is the lettering brush I will be bringing with me for your gals to purchase.  I use it for all kinds of things. 
Spring is here many days too.   Daffodils are blooming and things are beginning to pop. 
Have a great day.

 

Preparing for the Ros S. Seminar

Girls,

Getting ready for a seminar is like getting ready for a trip.  Gathering supplies

CINDY SAYS THAT THE CHAPTER WILL PROVIDE THE PAINTS – Don’t Worry !!!!!!!

Thank goodness one off my list, but what about the surfaces?  I have to think – where? How much?  What size?  So many questions.  Even though you don’t have to have the books they are great, so if you can pick one (almost any one) it is worth the money because she goes into detail about techniques, and you know how much I love to learn.

The oppertunity to  take from this lady is soooooo rare.  Please check with Cindy Moore if you need to sign up ASAP. The Gran dames of painting are leaving more and more.  Remembering a class of teachers gone by is so valuable.  A thing that fills my heart!!!

More info regarding Ros Stallcup seminar

This post is regarding the books that are requested for the Ros Stallcup seminar.  This info came from Ros.  I also want to let you all know, in case you missed it on the previous post, paint will be provided at the Ros Stallcup seminar.

“I usually suggest that they bring Gran’s Workbook if they have it as it such good reference for many of the things we are painting.  Gran’s Magic has the hibiscus design that we are painting and could be helpful.  It is out of print but I will be bringing a few copies.  They do not have to have the books but could be helpful if they have them.”

Thank you
