Late Autumn/First Snow-Acrylic Impasto Two part class

14 Oct - 14 Oct 23

This painting was inspired by an early snow last October. I was driving down a rode near my home and the heavy golden leaves of the deciduous trees were so brilliant and then a light snow had fallen accentuating the evergreens.

Testimonials

I had the wonderful privilege of attending a private painting class with a group of friends, hosted by Shelley in her studio. We had a really fun evening together, and I walked away with a painting I am very proud of – and I have a challenge even drawing a stick figure!
