Abstract acrylic painting: attempt #1

Stay tuned. I will try again.

A new project

I am a contributing artist for the Hope Women's Center Created by Hope Fundraising Night. Created By Hope is a collaborative exhibit of naïve and professional art to support at-risk women and teen girls and is the 2012 premier fundraising event to further the mission and vision of Hope Women’s Center. This is one of the pieces I'm painting. It will be two paintings. I composed it from photos I had taken a few years back at Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, MI.

Art Classes Start Tomorrow

...and frankly, I'm petrified. I will be teaching 3 classes this semester. Two I've done for the past 2 years: Art of the Masters- an elementary art class and Watercolor for high schoolers. Those, I expect, will go well. The third and newest class is acrylic painting with middle schoolers. I will have 8 students, 2 more than I should have taken and we are the last class of the day. I sure hope they have fun and learn something in the process. Let the games begin (or the painting begin...). More later.
