NICE SURPRISES

Hello Friends,  A few weeks ago a couple of friends and I put on our old cloths
packed some tastie treats and off we went
to the studio of Bill Harrison @ The Garage.
 in Point Clear.
We had a blast.  It was just a day of laughing, painting and meeting new friends.
It was one of those days that it really didn't matter what we painted.  

This is my painting, I have named it Home Sweet Home.


I'm normally a frustrated artist.....nothing is ever right.
I have never had a natural talent in drawing or painting.  You know the kind of person who can sit down and sketch away and you actually know 
what it is.  Well that is not me.  
I think that is why I am so drawn to mixed medium and altered art.


This is a photo of Bill's nest in his studio along with mine.

Home Sweet Home is now at home
on my glass porch and it fits in just fine.
That's a nice surprise.




I am going to join in the fun with friends at the parties below,
Take care, STAY COOL and have a wonderful day,  Kathy

  2. Home Sweet Home looks right at home on your glass porch. Love the term, glass porch. I call ours the sun room, but glass porch is exactly what it is. Think I may just give it a new name. ;-)
    Love your vignette on the table. Thanks for sharing some inspiration!

  6. You seem extremely talented to me, but then I can't draw or do anything along a creative line.

  7. Your "Home Sweet Home" really is sweet. Yours is just as lovely as the master's! You have such talent, trust me not everyone can paint, no matter how many lessons! It looks right at "home" by the sofa. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

    I also peeked into your studio,
