Laguna Beach, California

Come explore the beauty and the meaning of the tree of life with Sunstone at our painting workshop!   In her sample painting, Jeannine drew inspiration from the artist Gustav Klimt. She will demonstrate her techniques used and you will be free to paint any kind of tree that you like. All supplies for this workshop are included in your registration, but you should feel free to bring a photo of a tree or tree artwork to inspire your painting, and/or a tree related treat to share if you would like. Meet new people, have fun, be creative and and paint your own tree of life on a 11″ x 14″ stretched canvas with our art instructor Jeannine Luke.

Jeannine Luke is a professional artist originally from Napa, California. While raising 5 kids over 3 decades (four free spirits and an accountant), she kept her sanity by painting and escapes to the ocean and Italy. Jeannine shows her work and teaches locally in Orange County, California. Meanwhile, her (adult) kids and her artwork can be found mostly in California and in a few other interesting places as well. Jeannine has taught and exhibited in Florence, Italy, and two of her paintings live on permanent exhibition in a museum nearby in Fiesole. Jeannine spoke at Sunstone’s 2018 Symposium and she will be speaking at Sunstone’s 2019 Symposium on “Art, Creativity, and Faith”, curating the Symposium Art Exhibition “Finding Faith Within”, and moderating a panel of some of the exhibiting artists. Joy is her favorite word and she is most complemented on her contagious laughter. Jeannine paints every day and lives in a cute little cottage close to the ocean in Laguna Beach.
