From Friday Class to Filoli

This is the image we're going to paint starting this Friday - October 21st!
I'm very excited to work on this and we are not using any masking fluid and I'll be darned if I can print out an image where the colors are true to what I see on my screen! Very frustrating..... Anyway this image comes from the Filoli Gardens.


Here's the image from the Friday Design Wall showing the little gecko that everyone finished. Cute lil' bugger.


Fran Giannattasio is proudly showing her landscape that we painted together this past winter. This image was taken January of this year. I love painting landscapes and this one was challenging for many because of the naked valley oak tree. If you paint what you see vs. what you know - you will have a better finished image and a better time painting. Great job Fran.....


On my way in to instruct the workshop at Filoli, I get in a little early to take pictures of what surprises will greet me.... loved taking this shot of a buck showing off his rack in the clearing... took my breath away, and he stayed there for awhile letting me take picture after picture!

Thanks for stopping by...

Oh I wish I could visit those gardens to get such lovely photos to paint from! Guy...we have already had snow! My season for the flowers I love to paint is so small...it is frustrating! Will be so fun to see what you do!

Snow already!? I've seen some of your pictures on facebook with the wonderful fall color surrounding your Lady Lake. Love following your works in progress!

The pink flowers are gorgeous. Are they roses...Wow that is going to be an awesome resource to paint from.

Hello Mary! Yes, they're roses and I am so happy to be painting them! You can follow along on the Friday wip page.... The color is a bit off, but you can get the idea of what we're doing...
