<\/p>\nWe are off to a slow start with the classes, but that’s cool since the construction next door is moving along at a swift pace. The rough wiring and plumbing and frame all passed inspection with flying colors, and now the insulation guys are doing their thing.<\/p>\n
Here’s the studio as seen from the Top of the Top. They’re spraying insulation into the ceiling today. For the first time in 8 years, we can’t see through the walls!<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
And am happy to report that I sold this painting Up the Creek<\/em> at Duxbury Art Association’s Art By the Sea.<\/p>\n And I somehow found the time to go out and paint Spire<\/em> last week up on Burial Hill.<\/p>\n Classes are still forming for Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday is full. Here’s the schedule:<\/p>\n THIS WEEK<\/strong> Wed\u00a0<\/strong>– So far I’ve got Jack and Caitlin.<\/p>\n Thurs<\/strong>\u00a0is open.<\/p>\n NEXT\u00a0WEEK<\/strong> Wed\u00a0<\/strong>– This may become an every other week class, so playing it by ear. I am hoping to build a class of more experienced artists for Wednesdays.<\/p>\n Thurs<\/strong>\u00a0is open.<\/p>\n I also have a few mornings available for adults or kinder kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are off to a slow start with the classes, but that’s cool since the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1815,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[17,18,19,26,51],"class_list":["post-1811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-updates","tag-art-classes","tag-art-for-kids","tag-pastel-painting","tag-top-of-the-world","tag-weekly-schedule"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/heidimayo.com\/topblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/spire-web.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7nyYC-td","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1690,"url":"https:\/\/heidimayo.com\/topblog\/week-2-art-smorgasbord\/","url_meta":{"origin":1811,"position":0},"title":"Week 2 – Art Smorgasbord","author":"heidimayo","date":"July 20, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"This week was Art Smorgasbord with a fun\u00a0group of cousins and friends.
