Linda Dufour completed this project on canvas This is a Claudia Nice design and is called Wild Roses in a Canning Jar. Linda actually inked the project, and then proceeded to add oil rouging - the finished piece was beautiful. For some strange reason I took a picture of the project after the inking was completed but did not take one after the oil paint was added - not sure why I did that!! In any event, I thought I would post the inked project - I think it is lovely even without the oil paint added.
This project was taked from a photograph and was done on 11 x 14 canvas. Ruth Hisko traced the design from the photo, inked it and then added oil paint. She managed to come very close to the original colors in the photograph. Ruth gave this as a Christmas present.
This picture was done on 16 x 20 canvas by Marie Sallafranque. The building and horses were taken from various designs by Claudia Nice, which Marie put together - she then added the background, fence, etc., and ended up with a lovely picture. I understand that after she took it home she continued to 'play' with it until she got the inking and colours to her liking. This piece was given by Marie as a Christmas present.The following two projects were done by Sue Deighton.
The first one (Albert's Rose - designed by Janelle Johnson) was done on mei-tentes paper. It was Sue's first project with coloured pencils, and she did a great job.
The second project is called Lets Go Sledding and was designed by Jane Wunder. Sue also used coloured pencils for this piece. Sue enjoyed working with the pencils, and, last time I talked to her she was thinking about doing more colored pencil projects in the future.
These angels (Timeless Angels) were originally designed by Jamie Mills-Price. During our pre-Christmas art sessions several of the girls completed the angels, each adding her 'personal' touch. The ones shown here were done by Nancy Blimkie, and she has used some very unusual colors. It was very interesting to see all the different colours and designs that all of us came up with.
I expect to start the 2010 weekly art sessions soon, and as I get pictures of completed projects I will post them on my blog.
