Welcome to my Art World

  This is a painting in process from the Troy Garden Walk. I was in a beautiful garden on Dearborn Rd. The Troy Garden club do a great job organizing their walk and I will try to inform all of you ahead of the time next year so if you interested you can attend.  I paint in steps, meaning I paint, take a break, work on something else, come back with fresh eyes and thoughts and work on it some more. I have a little more to do before I call this one complete. I will post this again when finished. This is a painting in watercolor on size approx. 12" x 17" Questions can come to by Lhartworks@aol.com            

   The owner mom of Red shared the following words with me about her beloved cat.     Red came to me with serious mouth issues. It was clear when he was young he suffered a traumatic head injury which made his jaw line abnormal and gave him a protruding and stoic chin that I adored. I rescued him from a shelter where he had been for over 8 months. He had abscess after abscess. Thankfully my holistic background got us through his traumas and in the process Red enjoyed a free range life and love beyond measure  .Carrie Bartnik --Holistic Practitioner   This is a Painting in Acrylic on Canvas      

    Painting Parties in the Country   Occasionally  I also teach a group in between my projects. It gives people a chance to experience a few techniques of the art and have fun together. It also gives everyone a perspective of the process of the artists. We just do some of the basics that everyone can do whether you are experienced or a beginner. You end up with a piece you would enjoy putting on display with beautiful colors too, or give as a gift to someone you love.   Here is a photo of a group that was fun to work with and did a great job.
