Blog updates

I've made a few updates to my blog.  Notice the "upcoming classes" section on the right?  I've updated the rest of my fall schedule into the online calendar and will continue to do so.  I still have some details to add, but once I am done this calendar will show the date, time, place, cost, and supply list for each class.  This will be my primary spot for maintaining this information, so it is a great go-to spot to see what is coming next!  If there is other information you would like to see here, please let me know!

Post workshop blues

I had a WONDERFUL time last week hosting Donna Dewberry for a three day workshop here in our corner of Pennsylvania!  Not only did I get to spend quality time with my friend Donna, but I got to see fellow painters I haven't seen in ages, and strengthened and made new friendships!  Did I forget to mention the painting?  It was so much fun from beginning to end! 

I will post some pictures here later this week.  If you took pictures, you can email them to me at danellesdesigns@hotmail.com or post them on Donna's facebook page to share with everyone.

Don't forget my class this coming Sunday in New Stanton.  It is from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and cost $40.  I provide the paint and the canvas.  You bring your brushes, water basin, Styrofoam plates, paper towels, and table easel.  Call me at 724-772-9712 or email me at danellesdesigns@hotmail.com to reserve your spot.  I hope to see you there!
