Michael DeMeng ARTFEST

I am so happy with this little still life I made...I went on a Spring house cleaning bing...and made all new still lives around my house...I love how nostalgic and romantic it is.

While I was at Artfest I took a wonderful class with Michael DeMeng......I saved the piece and gave to my husband for his Birthday.

I think it was my favorite class......I bought this wonderful frame that had a clock inside of the it. I it reminded me of a Picasso and the early 1920's era in Spain...John thinks the shapes look like tuning keys. I also brought a little frame that I bought at a thrift store. So many magical things happen at Artfest....I brought this digital print of an old photo of Andrea Segovia when he was young. He is know as the father of the modern Classical guitar movement. A wonderful woman at the table in front of me had all these cool little bits and pieces of stuff...she so happened to have these tuning keys! Wow...perfect!!! And I was able to find this jade looking bead that I formed with a clay back onto the missing key...Michael showed us how to put paint on mica and make it look old... Out came this beautiful piece of Art...there were so many great other pieces of Art made in Michael's Class...it was the best! John loved he present...
