The craft show at CUA Tigers Cheer & Dance last saturday was a huge sucess.  I sold about 18 clay pieces.  Quite a few of them were special request for things I have never done.  I am up for the challenge!  I have already completed 3 of the orders and plan to get quite a few done this weekend.  I also have some plans for canvas paintings.

Tonight was the Fine Arts Festival at my school.  My visual art students had their work on display, the piano and strings students shared their musical talent as well.  I was so proud of everyone.  It was a great time to share the arts and have fellowship with parents and students.  Thank you to all who participated.

"Lighthouse in the snow"
This is my first oil painting in quite a while.  I am really happy with it.  I can't wait to paint another!
 
 
Art History Lesson 

"Sunset in Venice" One of my favorites by Claude Monet.  I love the black silhouette of the parliment building against all that orange.  His quick light filled brushstrokes add life to all of his work.
