The weather outside was frightful but the fire at Handmade Dwelling was delightful but not as delightful as these ladies’ paintings!

Thursday’s sold out class was a chilly little winter wonderland and these ladies were so fun to paint with!

We will be taking a break for January and February to relax and recover from the holidays. We will be back at it in March with a brand new website and a whole new of brand new paintings to share with you all.

Thank you for making 2025 the best year yet! I am so very thankful for you sharing the joy of painting with me!

Inspired as a wee one. He died when I was 5/6 ish and I cried like a baby because I’d never get to meet him or paint with him. 30+ years later I’ve taught his technique to hundreds of people and I love every minute! I get to paint with Bob any time I like and introduce him to new people every day. Thank you Bob. You’re the first person who ever believed I COULD be an Artist. Never once did I hear “you’ll just end up a broke artist”. I did end up a broke artist but it’s the happiest I’ve ever been….😅

We had such a fun class last night Handmade Dwelling! The weather was beautiful and the company was great! I always love sharing classes with so many returning faces that invite new faces to join them! This group was SO FUN and I enjoyed helping them frost mountains and paint happy little trees!
