Bobbie's CETiP Teaching Schedule 2023
Little known facts about myself....
  1. I have always been creative and as far back as I can remember, any opportunity to choose or suggest a gift, I asked for arts & crafts supplies.  My first box of water colors at age 7 was used for everything from decorating pen pal letters to painting on rocks.  I got my first box of pastels from the 88c store when I was about 9.  I had no idea how to use them but that didn’t stop me!  The junk drawer was, and still is, one of my favorite places to find creative add-ons for whatever project I’m working on.  
  2. In the late 70’s I took my first oil painting class. The teacher tried to convince me it was not OK to thin down the paint to the consistency of water colors but I didn’t like it thick and in layers that took days to dry!  Needless to say, we agreed oils weren’t for me and I didn’t go back after my first project – an elk in a field.
  3. I painted Christmas scenes in business windows for several years in the early 80’s.  I collected coloring books and saved used Christmas cards to use as my sample book!  The post office always challenged me to replicate that year’s holiday stamp.  
  4. I started painting with acrylics in the early 80’s and it’s still my favorite paint medium today.  I can go thick or thin with a variety of options in between.  Putting acrylic with pencils is pure magic for me!  (Thank you Erika.)
  5. I love house plants and have them in every room of our house except the guest bath that has no window.  However, I compromised with a fake succulent that looks quite real. 
  6. I am obsessed with audible books to get me through my daily 1-2 hour commute to/from work.
  7. I love to cook and entertain and for a while seriously considered opening a restaurant.  Now I dream of owning a bed & breakfast with a large studio to hold events and paint classes with big brush teachers!
