Garden Party Demo

GARDEN PARTY DEMO

12" x 12" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

I was invited to paint during a garden party at a lovely home in Southlake, Texas.

The Arts League, which is an arm of The Arts Council of Northeast Tarrant County

 sponsored the garden party along with a fundraiser silent auction including a variety

of donated baskets filled with wonderful items. 

The funds raised are going to a summer art program for children. 

 During the first half, guests had refreshments,

 visited and listened to a string quartet play beautiful music

 while they bid on the silent auction items.  During this time I painted the

floral above while some of the ladies watched. I donated the painting to the 

auction and at the end of the party the painting was auctioned off in a live auction. It went to 

the highest bidder for $350.

What fun it was painting in such pretty surroundings while violins played in the background.

 GERBER DAISY

6" x 6"

Acrylic on Canvas

The painting of the this single Gerber Daisy was done from the centerpiece

of flowers on the serving table at the Garden Party.

I gave it to the hostess who had graciously offered her home for the party.

12"x12"

The day was overcast but the gardens were

still beautiful.  The fragrant roses were heavenly.

What a lovely place to spend some quiet time.

Except it wasn't exactly quiet, lots of photography going on.

Babies portraits, wedding portraits, everyone wants a

picture of themselves among the roses.

Come back and visit soon and visit the

Ft. Worth Botanic Gardens if you get a chance.

The Charles M. Russell exhibit at the Amon Carter Museum in

Fort Worth, Texas inspired me to start sketching in my

my Drawing Journal again.  Russell was a tremendous watercolor artist.

The show has some of his sketch books, brushes and paints on display as

well as his paintings.

He also worked in oil and did bronzes.

Great Show!

Three paintings of Texas wildflowers in the spring. These paintings are a donation to

Williams Pyro Fireman's Fund for a gift to three fallen fire men's families.

The presentation of three trees to be planted in the Arboretum

of the Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center in Austin, Texas will be held

at the center on September 10, 2011. The paintings will be given as a

remembrance to these families of the trees planted in honor of the three

fire men who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Williams Pyro Fireman's Fund has helped many families during the years before

and after 9/11 providing aid to fire men's families.
Della Williams, owner of Williams Pyro Inc., Fort Worth, Texas
 is the founder of this important fund.

Thanks to all who serve us in times of emergency.

KAYE FRANKLIN OIL PAINTING WORKSHOP

July 20,21,22, 2011

Lake Granbury Art Association
http://www.granburyart.org/

I thoroughly enjoyed a three day workshop with  master artist and teacher,

Kaye Franklin http://www.kfranklinstudio.com/Artist.htm
from Grahm, Texas.  She included florals and landscapes in oil and also

a floral pastel in her daily demos.  All were very informative. She gave individual

instruction as well. I also got to stay at my good friend's home who is an excellent

oil painter, Joyce Thomas http://thomasjoyce.blogspot.com/  . 
We enjoyed visiting and taking the workshop together.

Other artist friends were there, Sheri Jones http://www.sheriart.blogspot.com/ ,
 Beth Pritchard, and Diana Littlejohn and new

artists friends were made.  A great three days of painting.  Hope you enjoyed

viewing the paintings above that I completed in the workshop.

These paintings and others are on my gallery page on

Daily Paintworks with details and pricing.
