I am so fortunate to be able to work at something I enjoy so much. Especially when I have such wonderful students that paint with me regularly. Over the years I have had the opportunity to meet such delightful people through decorative painting. People who share my love of painting.
I'm especially proud of the paintings they create and am please to share them with you. This blog is all about the students. Keep scrolling down to see their terrific paintings. Enjoy!

New Site For Art Work by Artful Endeavors Students
Yes, we have a new site where you can see the wonderful paintings by our students at Artful Endeavors! We have lots of talent in our classes that we would like to show off and it's always nice to have a site where a student can send their friends and family to see their paintings.
There are lots of great works painted recently which will post and as new paintings are created they will be exhibited also. Be sure to keep checking back to see our progress. Think of this as our student gallery.
Most of our students had not painted before joining our classes. We use patterns and teach painting techniques. As well as having fun, our students are very successful with their painting. You'll see paintings by students with varying levels of experience and interests.
Enjoy their works of art and come see us at Artful Endeavors.
