...she's teaching...we are so excited...join Angela


 Angela Moulton believes everyone can paint. To pass along the joy she has found in her own paints and brushes, the artist is eager to share what she knows and what she’s learned by painting everyday. 

AND SHE'S COMING TO EARTH ANGELS NEXT MONTH TO SHARE IT...SHE'S TEACHING DURING OUR SPRING GALLERY WEEKEND!!!

...if you've seen her work, you've seen how she pushes paint across flat surfaces like no other. 
With the goal of adding more color to our world, 
she captures movement in her subjects with subtleties of shading, drenched hues and unfettered brushwork.   

Her petite Pratt Creek Art paintings feature birds, flowers in bloom, and the many farm animals and scenes from about her rural home and the local, eponymous creek.


Painting on wood panels or canvas in oils, acrylics and watercolors, too, the artist is largely self-taught and has been at work with her brushes everyday for almost ten years.  In her journey to share what she sees, she has developed an inimitable style that is joyfully drenched in color and utterly captivating.

 

...she'll be teaching how to paint from live in her class...but it won't be donuts and coffee...LOL...you'll be snacking on treats during a break, but you'll be painting her signature birds and flowers combo...


Angela is an experienced instructor...She teaches just outside of Chicago at the Elmhurst Art Museum.



But don't expect a paint and sip kinda thing folks, this is a full-time professional painter who is sharing her know how, techniques and instruction...
you do not have any training to attend but you do need to be willing to try...remember, Angela believes anyone can paint...it's how she got her start!


Calling upon her experience painting both en plaine air and from still lifes in her studio, artist Angela Moulton of Pratt Creek Art will offer instruction in a three hour session to a limited number of students. 

 All students will be shown the process of painting her signature -- and oh colorful -- birds and blooms from displays she has created for the class. 

Each student will leave the class with skills in using acrylics, brushwork and a better understanding of composition and color...as well as their own 6x6 original painting on a notched maple panel.   

Morning coffee break treats included.  
 ($80 early bird)
Class conducted at 44 Jayne St, Florida, NY.  

Space is limited, early bird registration through April 15th is discounted…please book soon so we can make plans to include you!!! 9am-11:30am 


and hope to see you there!

...peek at the Fair...

I love the Rhinebeck Country Living Fair...
It's such a treat to have such a major event close to home. So while I still have to drive that big old 26' truck loaded with art and handmade...and all our props, I get to come home to my family each night.

I posted extensively to Instagram & Facebook during the Fair, but here are some more images that really share the festive nature of our events, and the energy of the artists!

 For the first time we welcomed Laura & Dana Putnam of "Finding Home Farms" and wow, what a treat it was to have them among the crew!
We've just started selling their all natural, soy candles... but more on that SOON!
 And look at these dynamic duos...
Sue and Sophie!
 ...Kathy & Letty...
 Teresa & Avery!

Thanks to Kathy & Lyn from NATS...they made the trip from Boston to host the NATS CHATS and tell more folks about our beloved Torquay - Antique Devon Art Pottery...

 And some of our lineup shots...



 ...and then the girls get silly...
Letty gets to earable art award ...
 Chelle gets the handmade  in action award...
 Teresa is definitely ready to run off with this painting...she loves MUDCAKES!!!
 Sophie always looks so pretty...
 ...and here she is FIRST TIMER SHERRY!!!
wow was it fun to have her along...



Thanks to all who made such a wonderful event possible...the folks at Stella Show Management who are the most amazing and prepared of hosts -- especially Jeanne & Michele!  The wonderful Country Living Staff -- especially Editor in Chief, Rachel who loves to shop the Earth Angels Tent...and of course the amazing Betty-Lyn who makes it all happen!

 ...and lastly some peeks around the tent...














If you have not been the this Fair, mark your calendars for next year...the date is already in the works! SAVE JUNE 2, 3 & 4th!

A million thanks and see you next time!
