It's been awhile now to find another location for our free art group. We have relocated to the wonderful Salvation Army Waltham Corps in Waltham Massachusetts. Now we have two groups a month. One on Mondays and one on Fridays. Both held from 11am-1pm.
On March 18th we all painted palms for Palm Sunday and displayed our work in the Sanctuary on Palm Sunday. It was beautiful! Our next Group will be on Monday April 29th from 11-1pm.
This is a free group for Christians interested in the arts and how to learn together in a safe and welcoming environment. If you are interested please contact the Salvation Army Waltham Corps. @ 781-894-0413

This is a church painting that I did as a gift to our mens's shelter at The Salvation Army Cambridge Corps. Wow, what a labor of love. Many of the people there have made a home of our shelter and even being offered another place to live, they call our shelter home.
I thought they deserved a painting that was bright and cheerful and would remind them of just hoe great our God is. It is a 36 X 48 acrylic on canvass that is untitled.

This was a collaberative work between Major Bessie Babbitt, our salvation Army Corps officer at the time and myself. It was used as a backdrop for the women at a women's retreat to have a photo of themselves at some point to make a memory of that experience.
It was acrylic on loose canvass and was approximately 6' X 6'.

Once in a while I watch some different paint-alongs on Facebook. This one was done through watching a Blick Creative Community group video. Its a private Facebook group but they have weekly painting and all kinds of other crafts too.
Had a really fun time doing this as a 11 X 14 door decoration. My apartment door is metal so I get to put pictures and ornaments on there for each holiday, so this one is not intended to be for sale. I stick the magnets on the back of the object and they hold perfect to my door. One year I did a bunch of cute butterflies, flowers, and bird magnets and the neighborhood kids loved them so much they took them. I didn't mind at all. It was such a complement!
Maybe if I find a little energy I might do some little hearts for valentines day that the kids can come and get too!
