Just wanted to share these olive pictures because they will hang side by side. What fun it was! Glad you came Katie. I guess we need to work on the martini glass or olive branches to finish the wall hanging.

OLIVES Wine and Paint


We had such a relaxing time painting the olives. It was a bit more challenging than we all thought. The black olives especially because we had to get the colors right. ALL were great! Thanks ladies!! The only thing missing was the martini!

Dine and Paint Private Tuscany Party


OK ladies, I told you that you were talented. We had so much fun painting, laughing, dreaming of Tuscany and listening to "I think my tractor is sexy". I forgot my music so it made for an eventful night. One lady had to leave before this picture but all did sooo well. I am proud of the jobs you all did! Have fun on your cruise! Thanks for the fun and I hope to see you all after your trip and paint some more.

Tuscan Landscape


Last night we painted a Tuscan Landscape. ALL of the pictures were beautiful. We incorporated ideas from two different pictures. I loved each masterpiece. YOU all did a fantastic job! Let me tell you about our special guest. I arrived before 5:00 to get prepared and the room had a squirrel in it. He had been there for days. We had to bring in John Tanner and Dan Fincher to help scare him out. It was quite an adventure. He had eaten or taken a bite from corks, plates, paper towels, window ledges--must I go on. Once we were able to get to our painting,the night turned out to be a huge success. Thanks to all who made it special for me. See you soon!

"Crabby" afternoon


11x14 Acrylic on Canvas
Yesterday it was cold, foggy, rainy and I just felt like painting this on this "crabby" afternoon. Let me know if you'd like to add a class in the calendar sometime to paint it. Of course the colors are up to you. I found a picture in a Coastal Living magazine and felt like it would be fun to paint-and it was.

Olives-Yummy!


If you love olives like I do, come and paint with us at the Hampton House on October 20th. The cost is $30.00. Please email me for a reservation@ apope@hsv.k12.al.us

Tuscan Vinyard
