CREATIVE PAINTING LAS VEGAS 2013
Here are some of the creations that I managed to finish at the convention Feb. 24th to Mar. 1st. It was a really fun time meeting up with old friends and making new ones. I did an oil painting, watercolors and one Acrylic (which I haven't quite finished yet and will show later).

 This Gardenia was painted with Claudette Bryant Garcia and was a 4 hour class. Watercolor. The size of this one is 11" x 15",  in the mat, it's 12" x 16".

 The watercolors are done with Sue Scheewe Brown and we did several within the 4 hour class. It was steady going, but was a very informative class and I loved it!

 More Sue Scheewe Brown watercolors in the same class.

 This one is an oil with Robert Warren and took 6 hours to do this one. The photo doesn't do the colors justice and they are all on the "Pinkish Brown" tones. Size is 12" x 16"

 Entangled Butterfly class was with Janice Miller and again in watercolor and inks. This also was a 6 hour class and we had to work really hard to finish it and the tangles on the mat. Can't wait to get this framed. Size is 11" x 14".

 This was our brain teasing warm up for the Entangled Butterfly class. We were told to write out name and incorporate it into a tangle. Here's my try. LOL

This is a 12" x 16" watercolor painting again with Sue Scheewe Brown and was a delight to paint. I have to mat and frame it yet, but I'm sure it will be much more impressive that way.

The convention was so much fun and I managed to hit the outlet malls between classes. Did well there! I picked up so many neat ideas and tips on the Trade Floor and in the classes, that I can use in other creations such as ATC's, etc.

The Gorilla was painted for Vicky. The 2 beautiful girls were done in pencil crayon (colored pencil) by Vicky for me. I just love them. The Girls are 8 1/2" x 11 3/4" and the Gorilla is 11" x 14". The Gorilla is done in acrylics on a canvas board.

Here I am late again posting my latest ATC's to the blog.









These have all been traded and were entered on the FineArtATC Yahoo group for trade in the "Winter's Coming" Challenge and the "Tis The Season" Christmas Challenge.

                            ***********************************************

I entered the Christmas Exchange "Thing a Thong of Christmas" and received these beautiful painted  thongs Christmas ornaments from DebraJean in the PDU Yahoo Group along with the goodie included int the next photo. There was a beautiful tea towel, calendar of Australian wild flowers, diary 2013, chocolates, pattern packet and a beautiful Thomas Kinkade key chain with charms. The Christmas card was very unique in that it had rows of "thongs (flip flops)" on it.



 My exchange gifts to DJ were painted thongs Christmas Ornaments, paint brush set, folding flower shopping bag, tweezers and nailfile with little girls on them, Regina bookmark and key chain with a bare foot Canadian motif.
