March at the Beach 2013

March is a tricky month - weather wise ..

We hope it's the month we can finally say

good bye to winter

and watch spring unfold

 

For me, there's no better place than the beach to renew one's spirit....

and no better way than a week with the

Beth Wagner Seminar!!

 

Here's the whole group ...
spring colors, and happy smiles

 

class room time is casual enough to visit and

see each other's progress

 

good friends share the week

 

lost in concentration

 

 students get individual help from Beth

 

 We learn many things in this class...

here we are learning how to assemble

all the parts of a fabric message board

 

Cindy was our expert for this part ..

 

Finished project ...

Nice job, Cindy

 

taking a break with Beth

 

Beth shows us just how it should be done :)

 

 Fast friends having fun at the beach..

 

 Everyone is enjoying this project

 We can put down our brush

 long enough for a smiling photo

 

I caught Dawn mid-stroke .. 

Cindy always has a ready smile ...

 

 Flamingo..

coming .... and going :)

 concentration and consultation

 

 happy group ... not wanting to say goodbye

 



 

the ocean waits for us ...

see you next year

 

 

February Tidbits

 

February art class with Ros Stallcup is always exciting ... 

 

We all get to know each other right away ..

 

We laugh with old friends ...

Sisters share special time

We love the new projects

( I'm learning my new phone's camera --

sometimes it's a bit fuzzy)

 

Jersey girls in the house!!

Group dinners are full of spirit (you decide what kind)

 

Messy palette makes a good painting - right?

and ... Tamara thinks I'm a Princess

Thanks, Tamara

A very big THANK YOU

to Nov 2012 and Feb 2013 classes

I love my snazzy new office chair!!

 

Every day is full of fun ...

we also pay serious attention ...



 

Happy Faces ..

Ros gives us all her special attention..

 

 



 seat mates become  new friends ....

 



A great mother/daughter week

Miss Opal just turned 97 !!

Happy Birthday, Opal  - we all look up to you...

 

 

 

 The ocean always gives us a wonderful view --

from sunrise to sunset

sunny or cloudy

that wonderful crash of the waves is music to my ears

 

... already looking forward to next year ...

 

 

 

November 2012 Art Class

Hard to believe that another November art class has come and gone.  These classes are the most fun... you might ask "What makes them so much fun?"

hmmmm .... let's see... Because ....

 

 ..Ros brings her great talent and sunny smile

 

 

...Everyone is excited to be at the beach

 

 

We get gifts :)

 

we paint great projects!

 

 

 everybody knows your name ..

 

pretty prizes

 

the beach welcomes us ..

 

some come from far away north

 

 

some come from far away south..

 

 look how pretty this is ..

such a generous gift!!

Thanks to the whole class!

 

 

 

happy to see old friends ...

Farewell, lovely Ocean ........Until next year ...
