Featured Artist of the Month. Glenda Field
Contributed by Jeanette Tingstrom, The Wagon Wheel Marketplace
If you have been to The Wagon Wheel Marketplace you have probably seen the art works of Glenda Field. Chances are that you may even own something she painted.
Glenda spent many years in Fairbanks Alaska where she embraced her teaching career. While there, in the early 1980's, Glenda took an art class from the now famous Bob Ross (the Joy of Painting). She tells me that it was always in her heart to paint, but she never really got into painting until she retired from teaching. She and her husband now live in Wasilla where Glenda enjoys painting in her beautiful art studio.
Glenda primarily paints with acrylic and watercolor. She has hosted art classes here at the shop and also has her art displayed in The Aurora Gallery in Anchorage. At the Wagon Wheel Marketplace we feature her greeting cards, a variety of small original canvas paintings, hand painted glass that include wine & beer glasses, oil decanters, butter dishes and more. One of my favorite cards (they are all pretty) is a Christmas Chickadee she painted at one of our Open House events a few years ago.
Happy Painting Friends, it's never too late to start!
