Art Camp Take II

Okay people, it is the second session of art class at Camp Jordan and this one takes the cake! Literally. Everyone had a blast last Friday night and how could you not when your subject matter is a fabulously festive birthday cake and your instructor is the enthusiastic, multitalented artist Mrs. Lisa Jordan. In my opinion, if you are considering attending a class and you are a bit timid when it comes to painting, ease into it and begin with a still life subject.

Below is the finished product/ teaser for the class to be held on August 12th. Sign up for classes as soon as possible! Lisa will soon be unveiling images depicting the upcoming holiday seasons! I wait with anticipation to see what Lisa has planned for Halloween!!!!

How fabulous is this painting of your very own front door? You could paint this for a house warming gift for a friend, newly weds for their first home or take the image and have cards printed for your very own Christmas open house. Wow!

Lisa's wall of fame! Totally mesmerizing, inspirational and hypnotic. How could you not create when surrounded by these wonderful original works of art? What makes the wall even more special and personal is that each of Lisa's family members has had a hand in painting several pieces.

Do you see that spectacular little calf in the center of the picture? I covet him!!!! I am not forecasting anything, but if it were to suddenly disappear you might find it somewhere in the Tucson, AZ region. I want to say the creative mind behind this little guy is none other than Lisa's youngest son, Spencer.

Note: If you do decided to attend a class, try to make it a "girl's night out". We gathered together our own Goldsboro Posse. We laughed and had a great time, plus we made plenty of new friends and contacts in Greenville!

Hers is the talented teacher, Mrs. Lisa Jordan renaissance woman extraordinaire. Quickly take a seat, class is about to begin!

The ever looming blank, white canvas. Intimidating at first, but once Lisa begins slapping the paint on effortlessly all your inhibitions are out he window!

My partner in crime, Tiffany. I just hope we can "squeeze" in one last class before Tiff's due date. Isn't she just precious!!

Yikes, I did not know they let men take classes? Maybe she is just a man trapped in a woman's body.

Ta-Da! See everyone can do it! The best part of the evening is the unveiling and comparison of each ladies artwork. They are all so unique! Each person's personality is expressed through their painting. Those who are outspoken and vivacious seem to be heavier on color and looser in their lines, while those who are somewhat reserved are more precise and "color within the lines".

My masterpiece! I think I am going to take it a step further and add a little Mod Podge around the icing of my cake and sprinkle it with a few mica flakes! We will have to see how that turns out. Also, if you wish Lisa will attach a spectacular array of glorious ribbon to the top of your painting to "jazz it up" and double as a hanger. (See first image @ top of page) It only costs a few dollars extra, way worth the added touch, plus now you can hang your painting on the wall, by a suction cup in a window or greet birthday party goers at the front door in place of a wreath! The possibilities are endless!

Overall, the best souvenir of the evening is artistic fuel and inspiration!
