Come have some fun and learn how to create a basic altered paint brush, turning it into a self-portrait or whimsical character.  Using old (or new) 2-, 3- or 4-inch wide paint brushes, acrylic paints will be applied to the handle and bristles to create these fun pieces of art. Let your imagination be your guide as you take the first steps into this endless art form.  Some basic embellishments will be available to enhance your brush face.  The brushes provided will be gessoed and ready to paint.

Bonnie’s love of the landscape prompts her to paint it, and she look for a story to tell when she paints. Her goal is to create art into which the viewer can step into, finding and experiencing their own story.  If that happens, then she has done her job. Although she works out of my Crooked Creek Art Studio in southwestern Idaho, plein air painting leads her across the western US.  These journeys also allow her to share her knowledge of pastel and multimedia in workshops, offered both on location and in her studio.
