Winery Class and What's In The Works


On Sunday, I had my second class at the Hardwick Winery. And a big thank you to Carolyn (fourth from left, front) for letting me use her camera!  :) She's quite an artist herself -- you can check out her website here. The day started out sunny, but by the time class rolled around, the clouds were rolling in as well -- along with a cold front! Youch! But we kept our hearts warm and everyone did a spectacular job creating their little masterpieces in watercolor. I want to thank them again for joining me.  :)

I'm also sharing the paintings I've been sporadically working on and NEED to finish. I can't remember if I've posted them before and if I have, I don't know that they're much different from their last posting. I feel like a snail working on these, and need to really pick up the pace. I have so many others in my head and drawn out, that I must get moving on. Oh and don't mind their somewhat skewed appearance. I took quick photos and didn't spend much time editing the lens curves out . . . but you get the idea. Have a lovely day!

Holy Cannoli! -- wip

"Holy Cannoli!"  -- wip
5" x 5"

I was hoping to get this work-in-progress up over the weekend but didn't.  So here it is so far.  I'm continuing with this dessert theme (for now) -- apparently my sweet tooth is hungry.  In person, the painting isn't as washed out, especially the plate.  Hopefully my final image will reflect the painting more accurately.  

In other news, I took some great photos for future paintings, at The Hardwick Winery where I will be teaching a "wine and watercolor" class in April.  The winery is BEAUTIFUL and if you are ever looking for a nice outing, please check them out -- they have lots of events scheduled, beginning with their Maple Breakfast on Saturdays in March and lots of varieties of lovely wines.  I'm looking forward to beginning some of the paintings I'm planning from that photoshoot.  So that's the scoop here in Massachusetts.  Thanks for stopping by and have a good week.  :)
