Our First Painting With Panache

Our First "Painting With Panache" was a great success.  

Carita was the instructor accompanied by her assistant Randi.  Someone broke out the champagne and we made a toast to the success of the new 

"Painting With Panache" friday nights.

Everyone there enjoyed themselves.  As someone commented "their inner child was coming out, and it felt good".  As you can see we all came out with vastly different painting even though we all started from the same instructions.  Some flowers turned into dog paws and some imaginations went completely wild.

We had fun that's what's important.  "Painting With Panache" is a form of therapy. A time to unwind.  So get the baby sitter lined up for next Friday night and 

meet us at 7pm down at the Red Palette. 

"Painting With Panache" is every Friday night at 7pm - 9pm ish. 

 For more information contact Carita Curfman at citaone@yahoo.com

Our Grand Opening was a Huge Success

WOW!  Where did all the people come from?  

We really didn't know what to expect.  We just threw some things together and hoped for the best.  We are still amazed and overwhelmed at how many people showed up ( and it wasn't just our family).

Lots of great art

 

Lots of food, wine and fun.

We met many new people.

It was so full inside that we had people out side as well.

These are our silent auction entries.  

If you missed our Grand Opening, don't worry.  We are now planning an event October 23rd.

"ARTOBERFEST"

More details to come.

Closed this weekend

The Red Palette Art Center will be closed this weekend for the 4th of July Holiday.  

Many will be out of town this weekend so we will open back up on Tuesday July 6th.

Have a great 4th!

Frame Guy came to town

Here's what you missed if you didn't get to make it when the frame guy came.

Lots & lots of frames.  Many styles and sizes.

He has frames that work well with many styles of painting.  So its a good idea to stock up on some even though you may not have a painting to go in them yet.  Lots of basic gold plein air style frames. 

Thank you to all of those who came.

Many of you have asked when he will be back.  We are thinking about scheduling him to come back a little before the Fall Kingwood Art Show at the First of November.

Unless we see he needs to come earlier.

Saturday

You can do it Shirley!

1st Life Drawing Class

We kicked off our first Life Drawing Class last Saturday.  Our model was Heidi Holzbach.  She was an absolute natural at it.  We can't wait to have her back.  We had a wonderful turnout.  

If you would like to join us just come by with your sketch pad and pencils and jump right in.  We plan on having a Life drawing class every Saturday unless there is a workshop scheduled.  There is a $10 fee to cover the cost of the model and custodial costs.  We will start around 10am and go for 2-3 hours.  

Linda & Linney seriously trying to capture Heidi's features.

Can't wait till next Saturday!

Almost Done

Its looking good!

We've got some artwork hung.

We started painting the front door and bathroom.  

I'll have updates on them when they are done on the next post.

Working Hard

Here's Debra working on the platform.  Remember, Measure Twice Cut Once! 

Linney is not too fond of saw dust.

Put that saw down! Anyone who smiles like that with a saw in their hands is a serial killer.

Here is the finished platform. 

I think Sally wants to be our first model.  She's proud of the hat she found at the new resale shop down the street.

Until next time.
