Garden Party Demo

GARDEN PARTY DEMO

12" x 12" Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

I was invited to paint during a garden party at a lovely home in Southlake, Texas.

The Arts League, which is an arm of The Arts Council of Northeast Tarrant County

 sponsored the garden party along with a fundraiser silent auction including a variety

of donated baskets filled with wonderful items. 

The funds raised are going to a summer art program for children. 

 During the first half, guests had refreshments,

 visited and listened to a string quartet play beautiful music

 while they bid on the silent auction items.  During this time I painted the

floral above while some of the ladies watched. I donated the painting to the 

auction and at the end of the party the painting was auctioned off in a live auction. It went to 

the highest bidder for $350.

What fun it was painting in such pretty surroundings while violins played in the background.

 GERBER DAISY

6" x 6"

Acrylic on Canvas

The painting of the this single Gerber Daisy was done from the centerpiece

of flowers on the serving table at the Garden Party.

I gave it to the hostess who had graciously offered her home for the party.
