How did the Open House go?

Open House was such a pleasant day!

The weather cooperated, so Brenda Dehaan was able to get to our event and bring all her fabulous new work!! 

She also brought copies of her new book The Craft Fair Vendor Guidebook. 
You can find her book on amazon.com
https://www.amazon.com/Craft-Fair-Vendor-Guidebook-Inspire/dp/1973574772/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524847603&sr=8-1&keywords=the+craft+fair+vendor+guidebook 
So well laid out and she gives a LOT of information helping even the professional vendor participant with tips, making the experience even better!

Sharon Huizenga, (owner and photographer for the Platte Enterprise, our local newspaper) stopped in to snag a few pictures and she kindly included our event in this weeks edition.

Above is Brenda and I posing behind her new work and the book, and then I am behind the food table.  You can see quite a bit of work that is displayed in the gallery.

We had visitors from all over including many of our town business owners, who dropped in to give their regards!  ♥

All in all a really nice day!!

Thank you, EVERYONE who took time out of their day to come in, pay their respects, visit with Brenda, say hello, and browse all the fabulous new!  You are ALL so appreciated.

An Online Class Is Coming!!!

 

 

A real quick overview for Building a Painted Scene.

 

I am teaching with acrylic paints and mediums how to Build a Scene of Nature. 

Learning how to use the pigments with the intended medium to engage your painted story more vibrantly.  To use the brush as an extension of your arm and realize how NOT DIFFICULT painting really is.

We begin with practicing elements of nature, in this series we work with trees, grass and rocks.
 (Other series planned will include water, sky and so forth)

After the practice paintings of the elements involved trees, grass and rocks the final painting will include pulling all those elements from different sources to build a scene that may or may not be an actual setting in your neighborhood but, sure could be.

Included in the class are videos with instructional how to, perfect for anyone beginning or wanting to expand their range.  I like to take classes for the practice involved of having a preplanned project laid forth that provides me a ready project so, perfect for the experienced too!
PDF's for studying.

Lists of materials and sources.

Offering group camaraderie with a Facebook private group, where we share our projects and questions that need me to answer or the ability to e-mail me with questions. 
For those who want to add the benefit of one on one instruction, I will offer a limited number of spaces for meeting over the inter net live with helpful instruction and feedback.

E-mail me at mshemeral@midstatesd.net to be placed on the list for further information as it becomes available. 

The class is set to launch in August 2015!!!

Come join us learning how easy painting really is!

New Window Display

I have 3 windows (right now) for displaying in.  One is an old entry from when this building was originally build as the Chevy Dealership I think (but need to learn) in the early 1900's.
I hung "Wild Angel"  and placed a displaying table in front of her, hanging from the ceiling are blown glass orbs.

I listed on Etsy today "The Standoff"  two pheasants sizing each other up getting ready to fight.  It is 1 of 3 for a series. http://www.etsy.com/shop/maryhuntstudio?ref=pr_shop

Happy Mother's Day

I have been just terrible about posting these days...or visiting all my friends on the blogroll.
I have missed visiting everyone!

I am beginning to gain (just a little ) in the time department. I opened the store I talked about earlier in the year and there is a LOT to this!...

I am going to begin posting new work as it arrives...explaining the artist and letting everyone see their pieces..they are ALL for sale...just saying... :D

The store will be part of the town museum and updates for their progress will come to the blog pages as well...I sure hope y'all remain interested in what is happening...

Thank you and now to begin catching up seeing what is happening with YOU!

Here is my Logo...we will begin with that...I found a picture of an old stagecoach and sketched it out...
