 4 X 4
Acrylic on canvas board

My style of painting sometimes reminds me of the style my mother had. She used oils mainly and she loved to paint on small canvases as well as very large sofa size paintings. Her snowman families were always a big hit at the craft shows.

Apothic Red Wine Glass Paint Party

Wine Glass Paint Party
Learn to paint this still life in a Paint Party Class!
What's the difference between a Wine and Paint, Paint and Wine, Paint and Twist, and other similar painting classes?
A Paint Party booked with me is different in the place and people who paint together. The class is held in your home or in my studio, or for close knit organizations like church groups. The classes are mainly small but can be up to 20 guests.
You invite your friends to paint together and provide refreshments. You decide if you want wine and a party atmosphere or no alcohol. You chose the dates convenient to you and your guests and I bring the paint and canvases to you.

 If you are interested in booking a pumpkin painting party, please email me at hcmalott@gmail.com
to schedule your party at my studio or your home.
Thank you for considering me as your instructor.

11" X 14" Painting in acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

The paints used are mainly better quality craft paint and student grade artist paints.
Classes can be scheduled in my studio or your home.
Students will learn general brush care, how to draw or transfer a pattern, brush strokes and blending, and care of the finished work of art.
This class will include an actual still life display set up on a small table for a live reference to shadows and lighting.
Introductory Class Fee $35.00
Classes are small and friendly and fun.

What Hostesses Need To Know
SPACE:
Hostess will need a comfortable space for students to work, a table with plenty of elbow room, room for easels, palettes, and water containers, and space for me to move around the table for guidance. A dining room table is a good guide to the kind of space you would need. If you are comfortable eating  in the space, you'll be comfortable painting there as well.
 
It would also be wonderful to have a place for new paintings to be displayed for future classes. Your friends may want to hostess a party after yours! Wouldn't that be fun!

INVITING FRIENDS:
Think of this as a party.  Chose the painting you like and want to paint, share it with your friends and invite them to come to the party.
HOSTING IN YOUR HOME:
Hostesses provide the refreshments, drinks, and space to paint. As a suggestion please limit the snacks to finger foods, something everyone would enjoy in a 15 minute break. Keep it simple. Water for drinking is always nice. Wine is optional and soft drinks, or sweet and unsweet tea.

You could provide a place near by the painting table for this pumpkin still life which is optional but helpful.
 
HOSTING IN MY STUDIO:
Hosting in my home studio is a great way to get your friends together if your space is limited or if your friends are spread far and wide. My home is centrally located on an easy access highway. The studio is comfortable with a 4' X 8' table. There is plenty of room for 8 students and myself to move about the class.

Hostess can bring light refreshments and drinks to my studio but  Please remember the designated driver rule.

THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
* Each student prepays to reserve their spot at the party.
* Classes start on time. Please invite your guests to come early. I will be there early. Allow for a meet and greet time before classes start.
* Classes end on time, unless we are almost finished and just need a little more time... yes... I am flexible and want everyone to have a completed painting.
* Payment is due 7 days prior to class
* No cancellations
* No refunds
* Transferable to another student only for same date
* Paypal and cash payments only

Love One Another

Love One Another

This is one of my favorite verses and I try hard to live by it. It's hard though. This painting keeps me thinking about the love of family, friends, and especially our Lord.
 
Thanks for looking at my blog! I hope you will come back often to look at my work and share your thoughts in comments.

Love is a Verb

 Love is a verb and it’s what you do…


it is giving.
 Giving is caring.
Caring is sharing.
Sharing is loving.
16 X 20 stretch canvas ready to frame

This painting is done in one of my favorite styles of folk art. The colors are muted and warm. The penny rug border is a traditional folk art design. The roses are painted loosely with a wet on wet blending brush stroke
