Wow – I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I posted on this site! From April, we raced into the Earth Arts Spring Tour weekend (May 3-5, 2021) and then right into gardening and baseball season! For the first time in a year, we were able to see our grandkids play ball and it was such a thrill! Paul and I sometimes went to 8 games in a week, and it was a joy to be able to cheer them all on – Anabelle in softball; Andrew, Haddon, Schaeffer, Casper and Jaxson in baseball; and Riley in soccer! We missed Grace in her track events and Brecken in soccer! Maybe next spring! And spring in the garden is a huge consuming passion for me. I love getting out in the yard and digging in the dirt! Now, in the middle of June, all is set and we’re celebrating today with a banner rain! It’s been so hot and dry that this is just a huge relief and we are so thankful.
After a year of COVID 19, in-person watercolor classes are beginning again! My first class will be held later this week, on Thursday, June 24, at the new Tin Cat Studio location in Amery, WI. So far, I think there are three students – maybe more will sign up this week. It’s been a terrible summer to be a business owner in Amery – the highway crews have totally torn up the main street and a cumbersome (and daily changeable!) detour has been in effect since the first part of April. Hopefully every little promotion will encourage new folks to come see all the neat shops in this hometown.
This week’s painting is the one that we’ll tackle in the class. “Let’s Go to the Lake” is one of my favorite scenes and features a variety of fun watercolor basics: water, rocks and birch trees! We’re meeting at the art table in Tin Cat Studio shop on June 24, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The cost is reduced to $40 – and includes all the supplies you’ll need to take home a finished 8” x 10” watercolor painting. For more info, send me an email at dstullkinsley@gmail.com and I'll make sure you're registered for the class.
