Trumpet Vines & Autumn Medley

Today we had two fabulous paint classes and it sure was a day to be inside and painting. We've had a lot of rain today with the remenants of FAY going through our area here in Georgia but nothing compared to what Florida has gotten. We certainly need the rain!

We painted Trumpet Vines in our first class

Josephine
Tomorrow will be her 86th birthday!
She is the sweetest lady - so soft spoken and so eager to learn how to paint!

Ellen won the drawing and took home the project piece I painted in class.








Autumn Medley

Our second paint class was this Autumn Medley tray with pumpkins, wheat, squash, etc.

I stained the trays with PLAID's NEW STAINS ~ LOVE LOVE LOVE these new stains. This was their CHERRY stain and it just takes a dull, plain tray to something that looks like beautifully crafted wood.

Ellen's (don't know why blogger won't let me turn the picture - I tried uploading it about 25 times and it goes sideways everytime?!?!)

Painting these pumpkins sure has gotten me in the mood for FALL! I am ready for some cooler temps and can't wait to open my windows and let the fresh air in and turn the air conditioner off.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
Sandy

As I've said before...wish I lived close enough to join in the fun. I can't paint, but I bet I'd have fun in your classes.

Hugs!

I love all fall decor. Those trumpet vines are so pretty. I think I have only seen them in white. I like the color and the trays are awesome. I can just see a little bowl of candy corn setting on them.
Love ya,
Linda
