These acrylic landscape paintings were created

 by my Art 2 and 3 students

during our residency with professional artist, Earl Lehman.

Most of the students worked from photographs

 that Earl had taken from around our area.

My Art 2 students created these

drawings that use manmade items for the positive space

and emphasize the negative space with forms from nature.

This is the quilt that I made a few years ago 

for our Dutch exchange student, Quit.

I cross-stitched the names of places he visited and other

memories he had during his year here.

We were lucky enough to visit him at his home in the Netherlands

and revisit his quilt a couple of years later.

Inspired by "Zorana" of blogland,

Art 4 created acrylic portraits

on watercolor paper.

These are some of my designs from the past

when I had my own needlepoint business.

Needlepoint projects at the cottage--

The design on the wall is mine,
