Busy in the Studio




Here are some photos of our open studio session last Thursday. Richard is making good progress on his lilies. And Cherilyn is painting a Monet which is getting close to being finished. I started a painting on sunflowers.

Annie Henrie-Lunch & Learn at Deseret Book




I went the to Lunch & Learn at the Deseret Book in SLC last Friday and was able to meet Annie Henrie. She's a young artist, recently graduated from BYU (2010) with a BFA. She studied in Italy to learn to paint Renaissance style. She does inspiring work. Here is a piece that I brought home with me, that I love! I asked her if she would be willing to teach me sometime and she was willing. I'll keep you posted on what comes of that. Excited!

This is a photo of a painting Mary Adams just finished. It is of her son, Sam Adams and his daughter Sienna. Sienna had just fallen asleep and Sam put his strong hands on her tummy. She put her hand on top of his and her body melted and relaxed completely into his safe arms. That's the power of a good father. I LOVE IT!!
