A Poem & A Painting: A Donut With Kelley

Nov 16 2015 · 3 comments · A Poem & A Painting ·0

I am taking a painting class with the ever so talented Kelley MacDonald, a dear friend and amazing artist.  Donuts are one of Kelley’s signature subjects and it was fun (and somewhat challenging) to paint in her style.  This painting of mine was done during an exercise in which we counted our brush strokes.  The first effort was a 75 stroke donut, and then what is this week’s painting~ a 150 stroke donut.

 “Between an optimist and pessimist, the difference is droll. 

The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist the hole!”

A Donut with Kelley

A Donut with Kelley by Pamela Copeman

I’ve been trying to squeeze in time in my studio whenever possible lately.  I had a great time showing and selling my work last month at the Hingham Arts Walk and I am working on building up my inventory again.  I am hoping to kick off the holiday shopping season with an online art sale and a giveaway of a piece of my original art!  Stay tuned for details and be sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram to be the first to know  :-).

I hope your week is off to a great start!

xo,

Pamela
