paint class reunion 5/25/19

 Here we are again ! Three of the ladies from last summer's paint  class requested another session  so we  call this one the reunion  class. i always wish i had taken more photos and then  fill the day with samples and ideas and somehow i never pick  up my camera. I did manage to get some  photos from  Sarah of some  pieces as she took during the day and she painted a lot!

Sarah's gingers

i brought out a print of a painting i had of a butterfly ginger  by Ted Mundorf

 and we all sketched and painted a set each. i will  turn my samples into a set of pillows soon.

  

                          Sarah's idea of putting a  black applique of a tree  upon the painted fabric
                                                                         is quite stunning

                                                                   more backgrounds

                                      this  beautiful sunset was taken the same day as our gathering
                                 by a friend that lives down the  coast,,,,,   Ain't Nature grand!

                                     
                                                                   Be well and
                                                      art out loud in color whenever  you can!

                        

                               tip; leave some of you work started if possible in a place you can access it daily.


                                                     I love to make my arty fruit plate for our lunch break
.                                                                    And here it is ....  art you can eat!
                                                

                                                                                      aloha, sonja 

valentine greetings

The poinsettia of Christmas past offered up this one leaf 

 i pressed in an old phone book for a few days.

 When i picked up the book, it fluttered out from between the pages,

softly. Itis almost heart shaped to me so it  has the possibility to lead me to valentine's day thoughts

and i am maker after all...the anthurium is definately heart shaped .

she is still blooming  

 and glowing in the sunset 

Ted Mundorff  painted tropical flowers in the 1940's

that i have a  great fondness for.  I have collected and framed some.

they remind me of hearts and so i share them today on St Valentine's Day.

I have already eaten all the conversation heart candies so i won't be sharing those with anyone this year, again.

I also collect vintage postcards and some of them are Valentines. 

Some a sugary sweet and some funny! Some are silly and i remember the ones we gave to our grade school classmates back in the day when we were much younger and only wrote with pencils!

another leaf that blew in  the yard in the shape of  a heart

now for some dark humor...

Well, this one made me laugh!

Be well, see better, sonja
