Jing-Jingle-ing! Get in the spirit of the holidays by gathering to paint together! Join us in creating a couple of small paintings of Holiday Trees that you can keep for yourself or gift.
Bring 2 small canvases or canvas panels (up to 6x8) (I will have some canvas panels on hand if anybody needs them) and a limited palette of paint (I will be using acrylics, and will have enough to share, you can use whatever medium you are comfortable with). Bring waxed paper or a disposable palette and a water container and paper towels and a few brushes (small and medium). I’ll also bring some fun add-ons! We’ll look at all kinds of decorated or lit trees and create a Little Painting of our own! It promises to be lighthearted and fun, to launch us into the Season’s celebration! You can bring photos from your phone that you like. Lunch (pizza) provided, bring beverages!
Kelley MacDonald
After getting her Art History degree at Wheaton College, Kelley continued taking art classes at various Art Associations for 10 years before she started painting. First with watercolor, then oil and now happily with acrylic and mixed media, it has been a lifetime of growing and exploring all things art.
Kelley has won numerous awards, and has taught classes and workshops for many years. While for the majority of her career Kelley has been a literal, representational painter, in the past 4 years she has been diving into abstraction, particularly Intuitive Abstraction. The history involved on the canvas, the multiple layers, the reveal and conceal and push and pull are what attracts her to this method.
A favorite thing to do is to travel, and be inspired by different landscapes and cityscapes. Kelley has traveled to Holland to paint, along with many places on this side of the ocean, namely Nova Scotia, Sedona, Santa Fe, St. Simon’s Island, Seattle, San Miguel de Allende, MX, California and Maine.
]Aside from the Providence Art Club Kelley is a member of the North River Arts Society in Marshfield, MA. She has taught at the Art Club, Bristol Art Museum, and at North River Arts Society.
