Hello Painted Gypsies!
I am beyond thrilled that you are here! It is a dream of mine to gather women in creativity to build confidence and motivation in not only their own work but their lives too! I am excited and humbled that you will be joining us.
If you have not joined our private Facebook group, please do so, Painted Gypsy Camp 2021.
It is my hope that we can get to know each other, and make everyone feel welcome. Many of us are not "artists" so I do not want anyone to feel intimidated. We are all on this creative journey together and this is a space where we lift each other up. ♥
So I was planning on guiding you through the steps of each artwork. However, I also want to give you the option to paint your own subject matter or in your own color palette for some of the projects too.
I would like you to make a special Pinterest Board. On this board, I want you to start pinning images that make you smile, give you inspiration, and most importantly make you want to paint... but the catch is, there can be NO ART in it. No paintings or other artists' work etc. The reason for this is because you lose a lot of the details and energy if you paint a painting from a painting...see! it is even confusing to say! ;)
Ideally, the best way to paint is to have the subject matter in your physical presence. However, we do not always have that luxury so using a picture is the next best thing to do.
If you would like an example, please go to my Pinterest board, Muse II and you can see what I am talking about. For instance, my images are mostly florals, churches, and barns. I want you to dig deep into what really makes you happy and pin it.
What do you like to look at? What color palette are you drawn to? Any places that you have traveled to that inspire you? REMEMBER, NO ART!!!
Let's start here!

Tiffany Foster Smith with The Painted Jackalope
Tiffany is an artist and art teacher who lives in the tiny country town of St. Paul, Arkansas. Her art was born with a love of creating with aged wood, cracked paint and rusty metal. Each piece of art is unique, organic and perfect in its imperfections. She creates layer upon layers to give each piece texture, reminiscent of cracked and chipped paint to show a history and the artist’s hand. The pieces feel and look like they have weathered many storms, but that they are all the more beautiful because they endured. Formally trained at the University of Arkansas, Tiffany received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Art Education with emphasis in ceramics and painting. Tiffany is currently obtaining her Masters of Fine Arts degree from Savannah College of Art & Design. She has been teaching 7-12th grade Art in the Elkins school district for six years. Since 2016, Tiffany has been selling her art at various shows across the US including Country Living Show in Nashville & Columbus. Her artwork was also featured on HGTV's Fixer to Fabulous show this fall. Lynnette Overstreet with Okies & Indies Words Paint Pictures. They Are the Brush for the Imagination. Wild flowers, prairie adventures, lazy pups, clear creeks and Will Rogers; these are a few of the things Lynnette grew up appreciating as a daughter of Okies. She was always encouraged to express what she saw through building projects in her Grandan's shop, a sketch pad, oil paints or the crafting of a story. Like most Okies, Lynnette has a heritage that ties her to native Americans. Music was also an inspiration as it always flowed through her house whether it was her mom playing the piano with her sister and brother or the occasional country band comprised of my parents' friends that would take over the living room filling an evening with music and laughter. She states, “A good work ethic was not an option, and all good things come from above from God who wanted to have a personal relationship with us. All of these things along with the heart of a wanderer who has fallen in love with India (a country I've traveled to several times) work together to bear fruit at Okies and Indies.” Lynnette wants you to see reminders of hope in her pieces which are inspired by the scriptures in the Bible and the knowledge of what the Lord can show a girl from Oklahoma when He takes her around the world with a message to share. |
