Fun with Hannah!

On Saturday, one of my granddaughters was visiting and we played in my studio. The tag I made is in the previous post, and here is the tag that Hannah made. She loves penguins and I think she did a beautiful job, especially since this was her first time. Hannah is 16. Take a look at her great mottled background...lots of potential there! And can you see the little penguin in the bottom right corner on a block of ice? CUTE!
I love painting with all 6 of my grandkids!

Busy Creating!

I've been chained to my table in my studio getting some things made for a November show. Here's a small sample of what I've been creating. Soon I'll be filming a tutorial for Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium.

Painting from a lesson by Neadeen Masters,CDA

Neadeen Masters, CDA designed this painting and the lesson to teach it in the original Traditions Education Program. I am a certified Traditions Teacher and have  taught this lesson to students of the modules. This time when I painted it, I enlarged it to 18 x 36, adding on to some parts to cover the extra space. It's a favorite of mine!
