Michigan is so fun to live in at the change of seasons. It is apple and pumpkin time here. Many of our fruit orchards are open for people to come in and pick apples and pumpkins fresh off the trees or vines. In addition to selling these fruits and vegetables, they also sell fabulous fresh hot donuts. Wasem Fruit Farm,  www.wasemfruitfarm.com, let me come in create sketches and paintings of their apple orchard recently. It was a picture perfect day with beautiful blue skies, puffy white clouds, apple smell, juicy sweet gala apple taste, and kids laughing and playing. Of course, I also had to buy the tasty donuts to take home to share with my husband.

For those of you living near Ann Arbor or Jackson, we will be painting the below pumpkin scene October 16th in Jackson (pending doctor approval for me to drive to that far.) If my Ann Arbor students would like to paint this as well, please let me know, and I will try to work in a time for you. The class was scheduled for this week. I could teach on Saturday at 1:00. Just let me or my store know. Thanks.

Pansy Basket

Have you ever been to Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois?  Once owned by Colonel R. McCormick of the Chicago Tribune, it is now a stunningly beautiful location for weddings or to tour the First Division Museum where tanks are displayed.  Truly a spot for male and female alike.  A must see for anyone in the Western Chicago area. We were there for our anniversary and I was enchanted by these beautiful pansy baskets.  This art is property of Jodie Brown. Please contact Jodie if you would like more information.

Tiny Garden House

Tiny Garden House Fairy Garden Drawing This past weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Cultivate Coffee & Taphouse for their kids craft activity this past Saturday. They asked that I teach the kids how to draw a Fairy Garden. It was a lot of fun working with the children. I showed them one of my drawings and their imaginations just took off! Hannah amazed me. At only 4 years old she had drawn her own fairy house that looked great. Another young lady in third grade,whose name I have no idea how to spell, drew a fairy castle, trees, and even a lot of fairies. I helped guide her by showing her some new ways to hold her pencil and and add variation in with her colored pencil by using more and less pressure. She was pleased with what she learned. It's a shame that I didn't think to take pictures of their adorable art. I would love to see your drawings of tiny gardens. Please share. You may also print and color the above pages if this is for personal use. If
