On Saturday, June 17, I presented an interactive Finger Painting Program at the Shrewsbury Public Library.   We had about 16 attendees where everyone had an opportunity to join me at the easel in an introduction to Finger Painting techniques.  We eliminated paint brushes entirely giving us an opportunity to approach our subject matter from a fresh perspective.  Whether we used one, two, or three fingers for modeling the paint along with other techniques, we were able to obtain a specific texture for our composition.  It was fun and allowed us extra freedom for artistic self-expression.  Thanks everyone for your participation!

I have been in conversation with Tower Hill Botanic Gardens in Boylston MA about presenting my painting programs to their guests in July and August.  Will let you know when exact dates are firmed up but right now we are looking at a morning program on July 20 and an afternoon program on August 6.  Summer is such a beautiful time of the year for gardens, so we have decided to harvest some blooms from their gardens and capture the colors and shapes on canvas with step by step instruction from me.  These classes will be geared to the beginner painter and will be perfect for anyone who has always wanted to try their hand at painting, but never did.

We were delighted to learn today, that Golden Paints is going to make a donation of Fluid Acrylics for a fund raising Painting Party February 2, 2017 in Natick.  The Different Stokes Painting Party will be held to raise funds for Kids Connect, Inc. located in Natick.

Thank You Golden Paints!  Their website is www.Goldenpaints.com

Will post information after the event.

Stephen has been busy for two days straight, designing, cutting, and assembling wood for 20 new easels for an upcoming painting party.  It sure is getting dusty down there in the workshop!  Almost done though and will take a picture to post later.  Thank goodness for his woodworking skills!
