Some things aren't working in the blog ( including spellcheck) so I couldn't embed this video! I hope you will click on the link and enjoy a fast forward shot of me painting a monochromatic pear. Shawn, our very own computer/video wizard is putting together the whole thing including the color layer. We will be posting it in the 'artschoolsecrets' channel at youtube in the near future. You can subscribe to the artschoolsecrets channel now to make sure you get all of these educational and 'star quality' videos.

Sad News

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Shayne Page (Tues morning class) pass away on New Years Eve. We will remember his easy laugh, wonderful baking, garden tips and slips, and positive outlook. Shayne loved painting southern Alberta, particularily the old homestead. His latest painting was the view of the inside of an old front porch, We will miss him.

Our condolences go out to Cheryl Wilkes who recently lost her father- a wonderful and courageous man.  He was a shining light for many.

Happy New Year!
