Art by Sherry Loiselle

Student Painting(leave comments for Sherry at the end of her gallery)

I had an urge to paint and started painting by taking classes at craft stores. I found out about Kathy by looking online and decided to try her class. I am so glad I did. She is very patient and the classes are very relaxed. I love painting. It takes all the stress from my life and I just get lost in my work. I paint whatever comes to mind. All paintings have been challenging. I love the challenge and have learned something new from each painting. Painting has become a big part of my life. - Sherry Loiselle

"Hummingbird"

Comment From

Kathy Boh: One of my favorite birds. This is so cheerful. Your colors are always happy ones. I love the way you mottled the chest and green feathers.
Susan F: You captured her iridescence. And such great colors. Nice work, Sherry!
Mel F: Hummingbird-As always, you captured this lovely little bird in such a striking way. I love the vividness of the colors and it looks like it is resting and will take flight. Great job!

"The Old Rugged Cross"

Comment From

Kathy Boh: Lovely Sherry.
Mel F: Sherry- The Old Rugged Cross- Another beautiful creation! You are truly the "Painting Diva" because you have the rare talent to paint from a picture or use your own creativity to transform a blank canvas into something beautiful. That is a true gift!

Comment

From Paula R: Such a sweet painting, Sherry. Great color!
From Wendy S: Sherry congratulations on a beautiful painting. I love the way the colorful vines wrap around the posts. Your painting brings hope of the beauty in nature that comes with all that birds bring!
From Susan F: Nice work, Sherry. Great bright colors. It's the springtime I wish we were having.
From Ellen: Nice work, Sherry. Great bright colors. It's the springtime I wish we were having.
From Janet Martin: Fantastic work! Your pictures brought back a lot of wonderful memories. I loved your red house surrounded by flowers, and your painting of the cardinal. The flamingos, the egret and the Baltimore oriole are so well done. The carousel horse brought back memories of White City Amusement Park, as did your painting of Elm Park. Your painting of Connor is amazing.
