Host a Painting Party!

Have a painting class at your home with a private lesson for you and your friends. Select the length of class you would like, from 2 to 4 hours long and everything you need is supplied by me. You can pick a scene from your lanscape or a still life can be set, or I can supply an image to paint from. Have a special place that you've captured with a photo? This too can be used for your class. The class is a minimum of two students and limited to four so that each student gets special instruction. For more information or to make a reservation, call 760-967-7658.

It was a chilly day last Tuesday, but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful experience painting. We were cozy by the fire at Masia de Yabar as we painted a beautiful picture inspired by an old shed in Sonoma, California.

We had such a good time at Masia de Yabar last week painting the courtyard fountain. Richard really captured that special moment when the sunlight was dancing on the fountain.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather and the delicious Chardonnay at Europa Village Winery this week. The vines are dormant, so we were inspired by the Old World charm of the winery itself!

Our newest host winery is Keyways Winery. The scenery is just beautiful and our first art class was the best experience! Come join us in October for a class.

This is Joanne with her beautiful plein air painting of the Keyways vineyards.

Europa Village is the ideal setting for our art class. The views are so plein air perfect!

This is our class getting inspired by the view.

John has a good begining for his painting.

Europa Village is such a charming setting!

And the wine is delicious too!

We had such a good time at our "Art Classes in the Vineyards" this past week. I wanted to share some of the pictures of us having fun!
