Painting A Christmas Barn With The Eagle Creek Fun Bunch

 Even In Masks All Nite

We Still Had A Great Time

Teaching and painting all while wearing a mask is not an easy task and I won't hide that I don't like doing it,

but we all did and not only did we survive,

but we did excellent.










Gosh you guys were great!


Here's your video.  

You're gonna be famous!


Here is your finished work.

And Here are the Unmasked Painters.


The jury is out on the December painting, BUT

put December 15 on your calendar and we'll see what the world is like as we get closer.  

We'll be painting the Snowman in the Moonlight.

I told you about a package I've put together of

4, 1-hour private painting classes in my home in January 2021.  

If this is calling your name, make sure you're family sees this so they can surprise you on Christmas with a fabulous gift, or you can just buy it for yourself.  

Click HERE to read all about it.  


Again, I had a fabulous time painting with you all and I always look forward to your laughter and smiles and a great time.

Beginning Artist Class Package


 Calling All Beginning Artists!
I've put together what I think is a super package
of 4, 1 - hour private lessons to be taught in my home studio in Pewee Valley, KY.

The goal in the lessons is to help you shorten your learning curve with 2 classes on art concepts,
including: color theory, values, form and perspective.
Then you'll take all that knowledge and put it to use as you complete 2 small simple paintings in the last 2 weeks.  
It's one thing to learn art concepts, but until you use them in actual work, you haven't really learned them yet.

Click HERE to learn all about this private lesson course.


The lessons begin in January and you'll pick the date and the time for the first lesson.  Then every lesson will be on that same day of the week and time for the rest of the month.
Example: If you select Monday, January 4, at 1 p.m., you will have classes at 1 p.m. on January 4, 11, 18, & 25. 

I provide everything you will need for your first 2 classes and I will also provide a supply list of what you will need for the last 2 classes.

I'm only offering 20 slots 
and this opportunity will never come around again
at this price.
I'm offering the whole shootin match for
the insanely low price 
of $99.00
I know I'm crazy, but I received inspiration about this class and that's what I was told to do,
so I'm doing it.
$99 and you're in.

This class is great for adults who've always wanted to learn to paint, but it will also be great for the kiddos, older than 10, who have that artistic interest.

Click HERE to go to the page where you can read more and book your time slot.

I can't say it enough.
I'm positive these are going to sell out, so get a move on
and start clickin and get your spot reserved.

Have a great day and
Let's paint together real soon.

Fall Vintage Trucks All Around

 Vintage Trucks Full of Pumpkins

What a great Saturday we had at

 General Butler State Park in Carrollton, KY 

recently painting these fun vintage trucks.  


This small group really got into making

 this painting their own.




She really had the color going on.

Check out that palette.  



Janice's husband restored a similar vintage truck in a green shade.  She painted hers to correspond

 with his truck.  (AWE!  Sweet!)

That's one of the things about this type of class, you can and should add your own personality in your painting, making it any color you choose.

I teach a method and you use that method 

to make it your own.




Deep in concentration. 



Lots of safe space.



Making that truck her own.



It's easy to see how these artists really turned this step by step instruction into their own masterpieces.


I usually do a video of every class I teach, but for whatever reason, the video of this class did not turn out.  Not sure what happened there. 

 This was a fun group and I would loved to have had them on video.


Thanks so much to all who came.

I had a wonderful time and I hope you did as well.

Sorry If You Missed This Party

 This Bunch Knew How To Party

You guys about wore me out.


Eagle Creek Winery sells out quickly 

and they come ready to create, laugh 

and have fun.

Eagle Creek graciously offers tasting of their wines and each painter gets one glass of wine to go with their class.  You can purchase more after that.  

We came to paint a wine bottle,

 wine glass and some grapes.






This was a giggly group and we had a boatload of fun.



Here's a little video of those giggly painters.


Here they are with their finished masterpieces.  

These ladies were wonderful and

 I hope they had as much fun as I did. 

I give away something each class and today Leslee won a slate shingle and a towel from Eagle Creek Winery.  


The next class at Eagle Creek Winery will be 

Tuesday, November 17, 6-8 p.m.

We'll be painting a barn with a wreath on it.
