Painting surprises

Some friends asked me to join them at a "Sip & Paint" event at a local art gallery in Sunriver on Thursday evening.  We were to be painting a boat on water.  It was a lovely evening and we did have fun.  Here is the artist herself demonstrating the project:


You can see what we were supposed to be painting on the right side.  Here is my so-called finished project!  VBG. I've done these projects before and I relegate them to the garage!  Perfect place for them.


I walked around the gallery a little and found they were selling some interesting quilts.  One woman bought this one while I was there.  She lives in Sedona (Arizona) so it's a wonderful memory of her vacation here.

It's a great pictorial of some of the wonderful outdoor activities in this part of Oregon.  I also really liked this other one:


I don't love the colors but I love the pattern.  Curved piecing is one skill I have not mastered.  Some day!

  1. Awesome painting, Rhandy. I haven't painted in such a long time, wonder if I still could. The last quilt is gorgeous. I haven't mastered the curved piecing either. I am pretty much a straight girl, hahaha! ;^)

  3. That looks great Randy! Really, considering you have little experience in painting I think that's really good for a first effort!

  5. The painting looks like so much fun and yours looks great--more than just garage worthy--lol! I've been working on a paint by number and find it very relaxing, but filling in so many tiny areas can get a bit tedious.
