Autumn Paintings – The Rusty Palette

I have recently received the honor of teaching art to the residents at Atria Assisted living in Barrington, R.I.

I began teaching at this facility in October. The first lesson I taught was pumpkins and everyone did absolutely wonderful. It was a lot of fun getting to know each other. I had a chance to see who had unique art tricks up their sleeves and by the time we finished I was really looking forward to our next visit.

When I returned in November, I was surprised to see the attendance tripled. I was told that word got around how much fun we had. This time I taught how to paint a gnome. What a treat it was to see these amazing artists create their masterpieces! I was so impressed that I asked permission to photograph them and share their work with my website readers.

Here are the wonderful works that were created by the residents at the Atria Assisted Living Community. I truly hope you enjoy them.

Thank you so much for following me on my painted path.

Stay Creative!

The month of October brings lots of fun events and for The Rusty Palette that means Halloween painting fun!

I will be teaching 2 separate paint nights and both will involve witches to celebrate this beautiful season.

October 9 …. Intermediate level hosted @thestudio

“Booty-FULL Moon” “Casting”

Escada Restaurant and Bar will be hosting our paint night on October 16th with a begginers level painting named “casting”. This painting is fun and easy to complete so I will be adding an extra step to this particular one for a magical night. Before we begin to paint the background, each painter will write their own personal wish that will be granted once their magic sparkles have been painted in as seen in the short video below. In addition to having your wish granted you will also receive a complimentary beverage from Escada along with some crazy good dinner specials.

Purchase your ticket in the Art Shoppe now because our seats fill in very quickly.

@thestudio is our newest public paint night venue. ‘The studio” is a private function bar room where we will provide snacks and beverages for you as well as live accoustic music and some door prizes for our DEBUT paint night. You can certainly bring your own beverages if you prefer an alcoholic libation. The studio boasts a relaxed atmosphere which allows for a more advanced and intimate teaching. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking to learn more and up your art skills. The photos below will give you an idea of the process you will be experiencing. All tickets must be purchased prior to the event as there are no tickets sales at the door.
