The artists made wonderful, lively still life paintings last week. I like to have them paint from life as much as possible. Art-from-life is the most intimate and honest art. 🙂
11th Annual Show Update: Our auction will be benefitting the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance again this year because their important environmental work is so varied and local with projects including the Plymouth Red-bellied Cooter, Plymouth County’s very own endangered turtle, bats, moths, and the noble horseshoe crab. We are blessed to live around and in one of the three coastal pine barrens that remain on this earth, so we join SEMPBA to help preserve this globally rare ecosystem.
Our opening reception and auction will be May 10, 5-7pm at Bramhall’s Country Store. The show will run one week with pick up will be Friday May 17 at Bramhall’s. This is a great opportunity for any artist who has had lessons, even if only a few, with me over the past year to experience an exhibition and use their art for a higher good. I’ll be making reminders and updates as the date draws closer.
Enjoy these lively still lifes, and scroll down for the weekly schedules.
CLASS SCHEDULE
Students come down the driveway to the back door, leave shoes in the pantry. Kids are welcome to leave a pair of slippers here. We are enjoying the benefits of a shoe-free home.
