Yesterday, my friend Sunny Fuller and I went to see Alice In Wonderland. We had a great time . We haven’t seen each other all season and she is getting ready to head back north for the summer, so I wanted to see her before she left. We were the only two people in the entire theater, seriously, just Sunny and I. Only in a small town could two friends watch a movie on the big screen and be able to talk to each other through the whole thing as if we were in our own home. And, we enjoyed the movie and each other, so it was a successful afternoon. A big wave and a shout out to Sunny, a fun afternoon!
Later, I went to a reception at my friend Janet King’s studio for her students, the Thursday Girls. These ladies have been going to Janet studio on Thursdays mornings for as long as I can remember. A fun, interesting, talented group of women who each year, at the end of the season, hang their artwork in Janet’s studio for a reception in their honor.
As usual the artwork from all the students was exceptional and appreciated by everyone that attended.

Alice Hansen was also there with her beautiful work that is always on display and for sale in the Janet King Studio. And the night wouldn’t be the same without Janet’s mother Mary Foley and her yummy famous chocolate toffee, thingies. I bet I ate 6 or more.
Janet King Painting Studio
Janet is an incredible artist and a fabulous instructor. She’s lively and funny and it’s just plain fun to be in her class. But what you can learn from her is the prize. She teaches in her studio in Sebring, FL as well as traveling as far away as Italy. She’s such a good friend and I wanted to brag about her and her shop.
In her shop you’ll find original artwork, giclee prints, prints, note cards and much more. Well worth a trip to the main street in downtown Sebring, Ridgewood Dr.
If you know me, you know I love figurative art and Janet is a master at painting the figure, but that’s only the beginning. Below are just two examples of what’s on her easel……
To see more of her work, visit her website Janet King Watercolors.

How wonderful. Thanks for the link
Wow, Donna, you must have been right there when I posted. Thanks, I just wanted to share my friend and her friends with everyone.
Thanks for the link, Alice ! Janet’s work is awesome. I have just started to do some painting, but only in acrylics. I have friends who do watercolors, however, and I will pass along this link to them.
You’re welcome Dora, Janet’s work is awesome. I own a couple myself and love having them on my walls. I know you’ll enjoy painting, you’re a talented lady.
Sounds like you have a wonderful day Alice! Sure beats sanding floors and dusting at the same time.
I’m sure you got a ton of inspiration out of your whole day – including Johnny Depp doing his thing.
I did Aimee, Johnny was pretty inspirational. Just his hat alone was fun, fun.
