Hurrah!
Our very first 'Art on a Carte' event went off without a hitch this past Sunday,
and the entire class did an absolutely amazing job!
Thank you guys so much for coming!
It was a great way to spend a cold, snowy day, and I hope you all left inspired, and with a little more art in your soul.
Here is a photo spread of the event!

| The 'Carte' packed and ready to go! |
OUR STUDIO:
 |
 |
| I am so proud and so honored; My first official event, surrounded by my new painting series on exhibit, in my dear friend's restaurant, in my hometown... It doesn't get any better! |
THE ART HISTORY AND COLOR THEORY PORTION!
 |
| Introducing Impressionism and Post-Impressionism |
 |
| Learning about van Gogh; his history, his work, his life, his legacy... |
 |
| Color Theory Portion; The class was only allowed to use the primary colors, plus white and black to create their images; they had to create any and all other colors themselves! |
 |
| Demonstrating the complementary colors and how to make neutrals |
 |
| Demonstrating the value scale, and how to make tints and shades (I'm so serious?!!?) |
TIME TO PAINT!
Every student was encouraged to choose their own color scheme, format and approach;
Thank you Impressionism for allowing us to pour our own creativity and personalities onto the canvas!
 |
| The moment when people find their groove is magical! So peaceful... |
 |
| A little liquid encouragement... |
THE INCREDIBLE FINAL PAINTINGS!
OUR AMAZING CLASS!
 |
| Back Row: Linda, Kristin, Vonnie, Linda (My Mom!), Kelly, Jessie, (Tricia's painting), Mad, Paige, & Janice Front Row: Me, Kristie, Jaimee, Jody, Marissa and Jessica |
A DINNER WITH VAN GOGH!
The Delicious Part!
 |
| Paul's Incredible van Gogh-inspired Menu! Designing a menu around a man who drank 28 cups of coffee a day to avoid eating, and spent all of his money on art supplies and absinthe was a difficult task; but Paul stepped up effortlessly to the challenge and created a perfect menu that maps out van Gogh by his life experiences and locales. And yes, it tasted as delicious as it reads. |
 |
| The Art History Packets for the Guests |
 |
| Kath's Awesome Tablescapes! |
 |
| THIS Woman! Kath is the reason this entire event happened! I LOVE HER! xoxo |
Thank you again to everyone who came out and made this event a success!
I had an amazing time, and I am so excited and honored that I got to start this new adventure in my hometown with all of you.
There is no place like home!
Keep painting and I hope to see you again soon!
xoxo, k
