For art classes, each student is provided with a 16 x 20″ canvas panel, a table-top easel, all the paint and brushes to complete the painting, plus water and a paper towel, and a protective apron.
The class time is for 2.5 hours (I arrive early to set up, and stay afterwards to clean up) – and it can go longer if so required (at no additional charge).
Check with each individual class on the Calendar Page for location, painting selection, price and class time.
Private parties can also be arranged, either in a home, or at a business; contact me to discuss details.

“Release…!” This whimsical dandelion painting is evocative of childhood-wishes, and of how a mere weed can be a thing of beauty and usefulness. It can be painted horizontally, without a quote, or vertically (with a quote).
Here's "Release...!" with the quote from Tom Petty. Any quote can be used by each student.
“Swirl Tree” is a whimsical, playful painting that involves several steps, culminating in a curly-tree as it’s focal point.
“TreeBurst” This vivid, impressionistic tree is exploding with energy!
“Shadow Tree” is an energetic background, featuring a stark tree silhouette.
“Moonlit Blossoms” is an impressionistic rendering of cherry-blossoms, set against the glow of a full moon.
“Lovebird Silhouette” demonstrates a pair of love-birds silhouetted against blue sky and shaded clouds.
“Ooh~La~La” … Each of these is a separate 16 x 20″ canvas panel; four of them are shown here, though each student is free to paint their own style/color of dress (perhaps to even duplicate a favorite dress of their own). Fun for mothers/daughters to do together.
