DOT MANDALAS GO VERTICAL

Yesterday was full of thunderstorms so I hunkered down and painted some glassware. I am facilitating a wine glass painting Sip & Craft next Tuesday through the Leesburg Center for the Arts and it helps to have a few different designs for the attendees to model. I will have several templates to follow, teach some simpler one-stroke decorative painting technique to the brave and also offer up a few dot painting ideas. Of course, I will include some mandala choices.

Do you have a group of 5 -15 friends or associates that would like a fun time painting and crafting? Contact me for prices and availability. 

That's it - time for some trail walking and pool time. Don't forget I am running After-work Eco Art Trail Walks on Thursday throughout the month of May. Bring bug juice and a camera. This week is Sabal Bluff Preserve in Leesburg. Meet at the trailhead parking at 5:30. Mabe if it isn't windy we'll make an earth mandala together. :)

MANDALA PAINT PARTIES RETURN

My fingers have been into so many projects preparing for summer programs for adults and teens. Before I preview the process art I just wanted you to know that Mandala Canvas Paint Parties are returning to the Leesburg Center for the Arts. While we are closed during Bike Fest I will be revamping our Sip & Craft program brochure. I will have some parties on the LCFA public calendar as well as privately booked events. When the new brochure is ready for printing/downloading online I'll announce it here.

What is a Mandala Canvas Paint Party? FUN! For those that say they have no artistic talent at all, the project is the most simple canvas to paint. It is practically a "paint by number" because I pre-line the canvases to block out where color should go. You choose the colors, paint the blocks and add detailing and BLING (if you choose). I painted up a new sample. The variations are limitless.

Other Canvas Paint Party subjects are available with full instruction, step by step so that attendees end up with a finished canvas very true to the sample. You'll learn technique and the how to's to create surf/sky/shadows from a professional artist.

Sip & Craft Paint Night March 27, 2019 - Private Party

Other things in the works are paper mache workshops. More prototype/sample creating this week. Here are pics of stage 1 & 2 of a lion construction.

 

And there is more. I have my fiber arts fine art piece I am working on but those pics can wait.

Note: My trail walks will be starting up in May. I will announce here and on my Enviro Art website http://getin2nature.com/ when they hit the calendar. If you are in the Central Florida area please join us.

AVOIDANCE HUMP NOW CROSSED

WOOSH ~~~~~ Gone. My day is almost gone. I have been sitting in the same position for about 4 hours BUT I got a new video uploaded to my GETIN2NATURE youtube channel and finally after almost two years updated my getin2nature website to reflect what I am doing now in terms of EnviroArt, Eco Art, Mandala Painting, Presentations and more. CLASSES!!!

There is more to do on the web but that BIG AVOIDANCE HUMP has been crossed. :) Yey ME!

As for art here is a pic - then a website link - then the video link. Have FUN. I think my leg is asleep. It is time to move the body and stretch EVERYTHING.

Upcycling a damages tabletop a few days ago. Pretty Cool. Remember the records? I will be promoting classes in acrylic pouring on vinyl for Spring.

There you will find the process video and a whole lot more.

CHAU 4 NOW!

BOHO FEST 2018 COMMUNITY MANDALA

AWESOME * BODACIOUS * COPACETIC and GREAT VIBES - the ABC's of Leesburg's first BoHo Festival. I had the great pleasure and honor of facilitating the huge mandala canvas painting in front of Sip on Main. I began painting the center of the mandala off site. The city's crew bolted it down to the pavement to keep it in place and then the kids filled in the outside rings. So much fun! I will be finishing off some details and we will have a huge backdrop to use AND be able to have the kids put their little hand prints all around it at the next community event. All good!

Rather than type more about this BRILLIANT event I am simply going to post a few photos. The whole day was exceptional. Smiles everywhere! And yes, we are making BoHo Fest an annual event.
