HOOT (Heart of Ohio Tole) week August 13--18.  Took classes with Trudy Beard, Barb Jones, and Maxine Thomas.  All paintings came home "almost" finished but I WILL finish them and post here.  New techniques were challenging but I actually did "think outside the box!"  Thursday was our annual girls day of breakfast and shopping at the convention market place filled with new patterns, books, and goodies from our favorite artists and some new ones.  Friday night's banquet had great food and friends getting together for the awards, raffles, and prizes.  Looking forward to next year's convention already marked on my calendar for the 1st week of August 2013!  I love to PAINT!

My new blog!

Hi everyone,

I am very excited about my new blog.  I hope to use this blog to collaborate with other artists that share my passion for folk art, tole painting, crafts, and of course black cats!  Please check back here often and feel free to share ideas and opinions.
