Buck Paulson workshop painting

Here is the painting I did at the last workshop with Buck Paulson. It is a landscape done mostly with the knife and a bit of a fan brush.

Blogger Alert for roses

I just have to share this blogger site....

http://giftsofcreation.blogspot.com/

Friday she posted this The Love of Roses Treasury by Etsy Artists "How do I love thee?, let me count the ways" and featured a item of mine that I have in my etsy shop, http://www.paintwithbarb.etsy.com/ So if you like/love roses you need to check her blog out....

Meet Artist, Teresa of Teresa's Ceramics

Meet Teresa's Ceramics etsy shop, http://teresasceramics.etsy.com/ I fell in love with her Wormy right away, Teresa has had her shop open since Oct 29, 2007 and has great items that you all will want to check out right away. She lives in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Manchester,MI USA.



This character will look so great in the garden on the porch or on the patio!! Colorful and Cute in colors of turquoise and red. He will be certain to be noticed. He was made in Teresa's studio and finished in acrylics and then weatherproofed with an acrylic spray. He measures 5 inches long (13.5cm) and 2 1/2 inches (6.5 cm) tall.He sure would love to come and live with you!!



Then I found this, oh she is so cute....... Ms. Rocky

This rock face is very unique and will be sure to make people laugh when they see her in your garden on your patio or on your porch. She is quite a character. She has been slip cast and then fired and painted with acrylics. She measures about 11 inches (28cm) in diameter and about 5 inches (13cm) high. And she is hollow, so maybe you could hide something underneath. She has been sealed with an acrylic sealer so she can be left outside except in extreme weather. She can be painted in almost any color so if you would like her in a different color please just let Teresa know.

So go check out her shop, and tell her I sent ya!

a new day

Hi all, it is a new day with a new computer.... I had a hard time getting back on my blog due to issues with the service and or my old old computer but I am now back. Sorry for the long overdue time away..... oil painting classes are going strong at the two places in the Kennewick WA area, Hang Ups, and at Desert Dogs Unleashed. Have not been painting as much as I like, mainly due to the heat, and yes, getting this new computer up and running. Plus working on personal health issues, like all these dental appts.

update

Hi all, update on my health and classes......we are back to teaching and on Monday I will get to go back to work with my other job. I spent 24 hours in the hospital on Monday night, to Tuesday evening and they finally think they know what is wrong with me. Yes, I have a heart issue but it might be caused by the thyroid so more tests and then I will know something, maybe....... There are only today and two more days of teaching at Michaels in Kennewick WA and then the classes will move to the new locations. Remember to sign up at www.paintwithbarb.com for the newer classes in April and you can pay for your class online too. Classes at Michaels are limited to the first 8 as we have a smaller class room now.
