Environmental Learning Center in Vero Beach, Florida

ELC-ECOFest

March 6, 2016

It was a really great day at The Environmental Learning Center.

I chose an area around the pond where the children

were catching things in their nets. 

 

They kept coming over now and then to check on the progress of my painting.

They thought I was awesome.  It was fun getting all those complements

from grateful little children.

 

One of the boys said "I WANT TO BUY THAT PAINTING"

I told him to go and tell his mom and if she wanted to come and speak with me

about the purchase that we could come up with a deal.

I let the young man buy the painting for $ 20.00. lol. 

The canvas cost $ 10.00 but the boys excitement was PRICELESS. 

 

Just got an email from them.  He is so happy.  I told him I was

excited for him because he was getting an original Peni Baker.  lol.

I signed it in front of him but 

the really cool thing was I told him to go grab a net

and get into the water with the other kids and I would paint him

into the painting.

He is the one in the green shirt.

So Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Evening at the Sebastian River Front"

This is a 5" x 7" acrylic on canvas board that I painted

as I sat out at the picnic table under a pavilion with a couple of friends.

It was actually daylight but I really enjoyed doing a night scene with a moon.

"Florida Blue"

I don't usually fall in love right away with my paintings.  It usually takes a while.

But this one takes the cake.

I have a lot of detail to accomplish in this painting before I am finished with it but

I sure do love it already.

I hope you enjoy it half as much as I do.

Enjoy!

On my way home from an art reception at the

Three hour paint challenge at the Sebastian River Art Club

Our great host Judy Burgarella pulled it off today

encouraging a lot of us to push our brushes to 

complete a painting in three hours.

A few of us were successful!

Judy Burgarella herself                                                      

with her painted cowboy. 

She really gets into her painting doesn't she?                                       

 Jeanne Dumphey always does a
beautiful job and can't wait to see
this one completed.













Susie Lavender is working on this delightful
Mommy and Babies.  It will be wonderful
when completed.

Patti Goins does the most wonderful
and enchanting work with her beautiful
 oranges and bright intense detail.














 And Mary Rahmig does these perfect
water color paintings.

 Terry Pate has advanced so well with
her oil paintings that she can paint
anything she decides she wants to
and has turned into a truly wonderful
Florida artist.

Of course my little paintings are always happening.

And Ann Emery, she paints anything she wants and always uses the prettiest and softest colors of anyone.

Kathleen Richter has opened up and proven to be
one of our best artist.  She is amazing us and is

providing us with pure delight.

I hope this blog will encourage more of you all to

come and join the three hour challenge

painters at our Sebastian River Art Club.

Any Tuesday and Thursday

from 11:00am to 3:00 pm

Enjoy!

On the easel

I'm working on it.

It shouldn't be too long now.  A little more

blending.  A little more tweeking.

It's going to be so pretty even if I do say so myself.  All of you know that

I like show and tell.  I had a girlfriend tell me once theat if I hit myself on the back any harder

I will knock myself over.

Well here it is

Ron's Girl

Enjoy!

"Catching Up"

Finally!!!!!!!

Do to family illness this is my first post since  October 2011.

So glad to be back!!!

It looks like I might be catching up and getting a bit of my  painting

back on track.

I try hard to do "first things first"

It's exciting starting a new painting so it's really difficult

to stick to the "first things first"  philosophy.

Remember the beautiful tiny little girl I started painting a while back?  Elana.

She and her three brothers, Christian Carson and Price
 would have been finished already but it took at least three months

 to finish the Christmas Mural.  Not complaining mind you.  And other things.

The six 2" x 2" canvases are soon to be finished paintings I'm doing for a donation.

and the photo of the beautiful young women is my latest commission.

I'm so excited to be back painting again.

Enjoy!  and watch  do for my 

next post.
