When things work together....

Several month ago, my sister told me that she wanted to go to an art gallery for her birthday.  Something that would inspire her artistic side.  With busy schedules, it made it impossible to plan anything. UNTIL!!!!  Wednesday in the mail came a postcard announcing that artist Ann Taecker was having an artist meet and greet at K.K. Berge Gallery in Granite Falls, MN sponsored by the  Granite Area Arts Council.

We have taken silk painting classes from Ann in the past and Granite Falls is a bit of a drive but closer than her base.  It was time to have a refresher.  Both Tabatha and I have black silks, dyes, and stretch frames.  So hopefully this weekend, we can find time to apply our inspiration.  (Step one is done! The supplies are out of storage.)

We were definitely inspired by the artwork.

Silk Art: Waterfall

 At work on Friday, just before leaving for Granite Falls, out of the blue a woman said to Tabatha "I hear that you know how to paint on silk. Could you teach me?"  After finding out that there is one other person that is interested in silk painting, we decided to investigate the possibility of having Ann come to the area again to  teach another class!  Stay tuned for more information on that event.
