Aged Bucket & Apples Paint Class

Today in paint class we painted an aged bucket with apples. I love this painting and cannot take credit for the idea. Jerry Yarnell a fine artist painted it and I saw him on TV (BYU channel 4:30p.m. (Eastern) on Saturdays. He is an amazing artist and well I just knew I had to come up with a class and teach it to my students.

Barb won the drawing and got to take home the project I painted this evening in paint class.
Things have been busy busy busy here! Trying to get some painting and clay done for upcoming classes. Things are going super up at the Byron Welcome Center and I spent a couple of hours up there on Friday meeting people and having the most fascinating visit with Frances that runs the Center! She knows everyone and has the coolest stories about the town!
GAS here today is $2.59 can you believe it? When we moved here from England a few years ago it was $2.56 and I cannot remember it being that low since.
Have a great day.

Girl...that was quick! I just got home from Bryant's football game and you've already posted pics from our class that didn't end until after 8:00! Okay, so looking at my painting on here, my apples are WAY too dark. I'm going to "touch up" that painting then paint another after we get back. I'll send pics when I'm finished. Awesome class. So wish I was going to be in town on Saturday so I could attend the Old World Santa class. Big Hugs & God's Blessings, Kim

Very well done! I remember an artist who painted on PBS years ago..he was just marvelous and made it look so easy. He could paint the most fantastic trees...I don't remember his name and he passed away a while back...but he was a true inspiration...I'm thinking you are, too.

Sandi, I love the pics. Did you use HD or regular acrylics? My husband's up at the base in Warner Robbins this week taking a class. Wish I could have gone with him. I could have met you and taken a class or two from you. Maybe next time.

Hi Cindy,
I used regular acrylics but I think it would be awesome in HD.
If you do have the opportunity to come up with your hubby next time let me know - it would be awesome to meet you and also get together and paint!
Have a wonderful day.
