On-line Registration is NOW OPEN

  CAMP DESCRIPTIONS:

NEW! The Apprentice Atelier!
This is a new series in the studio. So if you have have come to art camp before this might just be what you are looking for.  In this camp, kids will study the life of an amazing Master Artist. Campers will complete projects centered around the artists life, create art the way the artist might have done, using similar tools and mediums. There is no better way to understand an artist than to create like them.
AND there is no better way to start this series than with one of my favorite artists, Van Gogh.

NEW! Paths and Purpose
What path are you on? Do you have a map? Where will your journey take you? In this camp kids will explore who they are in Christ and complete several projects having to do with identity and purpose. I want each camper to understand that they are able to re-orient their lives with the right tools and our Big God! Good Stuff!

NEW! Camp Creation!
I have been wanting to do this camp for a while now and can't wait! Campers will look to nature for inspiration, as well as, the Creation story. Being a maker of beauty is Biblical! Projects will center around the days of creation. "And God saw all that He had made and it was very good." Gen. 1:31

Watercolor Peony

I spent the day yesterday, with a dear friend, watercolor painting. We had a wonderful time together and I wanted to share the results of our day.  My goal was to learn some preliminary things from her and practice before we took a watercolor class together.

I have never taken a watercolor class, so I wanted to learn from Laura whom I admire. Her artistic talent is inspiring and captivating. Not to mention she is a great teacher, wonderful encourage-er and helps me see God's world through a colorful lens! I am so glad we are friends! We had a lovely day together. Once I got over my initial nervousness and the feeling of being awkward and not knowing what I was doing, the paint started to flow. At one point, the feeling of defeat was creeping in around midday and Laura suggested that we start working on our background as a contrast. Boy that did the trick! We both were able to get a better picture of what we were trying to accomplish.  I can't wait for our Kay Barnes Watercolor Class.

This is my first ever, large format watercolor painting, it is 15 x 24.  It was painted from a photograph of a peony, one of my favorite flowers.
