Mosaics, mosaics and more Beautiful Mosaics

How wonderful to be in the art room literally surrounded by gorgeous glass and clay mosaics. The quality of the student work has simply stunned Mike and me with the students carefully and proudly working on their pieces. I will be so excited to see these pieces on display during the Musical of Guys and Dolls taking place in March. For anyone interested, we will be having a student exhibit of varied work with the opening taking place on March 11, 2010. There will be prizes and ribbons awarded!

I did manage to sneak in a few shots of Mr. DeFazio's work of which there is too little in the room:) Hopefully the next year curriculum will be able to include a full year of painting. Mr. DeFazio's own talent in the area of painting is really something to see.

On a winter note, we are expecting another winter storm bringing snow and very heavy winds. The beautiful colors in the glass just serves as a lovely reminder that Spring is surely on its way!

Mermaid Painting Timelapse

This is the same painting that is listed below. My husband setup a webcam and took captures every 10 seconds or so. Then he put it all together in a timelapse video! Check it out on youtube!

More Paintings

These paintings are a series of works I hope to display and sell in Corolla, NC with a delivery date of early May. Some of the pieces are quite large and if you like anything you see....leave a comment!

What I have been working on while we get mucho snow

After almost 10 years of painting and working in our basement, I have an official painting studio. It is amazing what two windows, some great light and a cd player full of my favorite music will do for the soul:)

For the past week, I have been working on several acrylic paintings, partially inspired by my love of the sea and water and creatures. I hope you like what I have rendered!
