LEARN TO PAINT WITH
ARTIST AND PAINTING INSTRUCTOR MONIQUE CARR

My greatest joy as an oil-painting instructor is to see a beginner who has never picked up a paintbrush and over come her/his fear of oil painting. In my class, I will walk you step-by-step through the painting. When you’ll be done, you’ll have a wonderful painting that you will be proud of. It is stress free and all fun! Come experience the joy of painting!

Living the moment

From China with Love, oil on Canvas, 24"X24" I love painting because it forces me to be present in the moment. The life goes by so fast that we don’t notice the good little things because our worries cover them all. Today, let’s enjoy the moment. "Painting is like the cornerstone in a great arch. It takes the pressure of the day and holds all things together." -  Deborah Strandber See below my step-by-step process of my painting ‘From China with Love”. Wishing you all a fabulous February and a sweet Valentines's day. With hugs and kisses, Monique XX

Bundle of Joy, oil on canvas, 12x12 February is usually cold and gray. I’m anxious to witness the renewal of spring. If I can’t see flowers in my garden, I surely can paint some to cheer me up. See below to view my step-by-step process.  One thing that I enjoy in February is Valentine’s Day!  It’s a time to remember what is important. LOVE What does your love mean if it isn’t demonstrated? Show it, Express it, Give it…it’s Free! The Bible says: “LOVE always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”  1 Corinthians 13:7-8 Happy Valentine’s Day my friends. With love, Monique Click here to view more of Monique's work. This is how my palette looks when I finished my work.

Live And Let Die

What to do with your dying poinsettia?  I was clearing the last Christmas decorations off my house. There was a pitiful poinsettia staring at me. “Hmm! Just too bad that I have to get rid of it. Maybe I could do something creative with it before it dies” I thought. “Lets paint it!” I exclaimed! So I got a canvas on the easel and cranked up the Jazz music. Soon after, I went wild with the brush. Here is my creation with my soon to be gone poinsettia. I titled it: Live And Let Die, oil on canvas, 24”X24”. See below step-by-step process.  This year one of my goal is ‘paint BIG’. Have you set your goals yet? Write it down and share it with someone. Love y’all, Monique
