2013 Convention - wOil Certification and Convention Awards

During this years' convention I offered a deal to get wOil Certified and we had a huge response - thank you to all of you who worked so hard to not only attend the convention but then stay at night to get certified.  I love that you embraced wOils and you all now have the key to the future!  Go out there and spread wOils around - no pun intended - go teach!!!


We changed up the first two paintings in the Cert to these.  Whaddya think?  Don't those waves and clouds look more realistic.  Love that I was able to get more greenery into the hibiscus without losing the beauty of the flower too.

Sharon - so glad you were with us and are bringing wOils into your studio.

Pat and Pam- loving their Watering Cans!

Marchelle staying warm in the high AC - your art is growing so much sweetie!

Looking great!

Miss Kim Barone - finally getting you wOil Certified???  You were always the first to be certified in everything I had.  Thanks for sticking with me my friend.

Eileen - such a sweet smile and your painting is beautiful!

Our Jersey Girl - Miss Colleen.  Loving the wOils!



 
More happy wOil painters - gorgeous work ladies!


Looking great gals!  Thanks Tambrey for being one of my auditors and helping everyone get their strokes right.  

On the last day of convention, we painted oversized!  Poppies on white canvas background.  

See how everyone is paying such good attention?  On the last day of convention, right???

Group shot - don't they look great?

 Not an award, but these are my veterans - they've been with me since the 90's.  Thanks for the years of friendship guys.  I so appreciate and love you.
