Join Chris for four weeks of energetic, colorful floral paintings, inspired by the changing seasons. Late bloomers like sunflowers, asters, sedum, goldenrod, and Japanese anemones, artfully arranged with fruits, gourds and berries, will be the subject matter of a beautiful new still life each week. Our focus will be saturated jewel tones, unexpected color combinations, and loose, expressive brushwork to create paintings that feel lush, contemporary, and full of life. Come prepared to loosen up, push your color a little, and celebrate autumn in paint—pumpkin spice optional. Students may work from Chris’ reference images, their own, or from life. Suitable most mediums, and for painters with basic experience.

Chris Rapa is an Impressionist painter, devoting her practice to the pursuit of light—its shifting moods, fleeting revelations, and the way it transforms the every-day into something quietly extraordinary. Meaning is at the heart of her creative process as she seeks to weave emotion, intention, and narrative into every work. In addition to traditional impressionist techniques, she explores multimedia collage as a way to confront and illuminate the complex challenges faced by women today. Whether through luminous landscapes, colorful still life, or socially reflective collage, her art is driven by a desire to create connection. Chris is the President of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters and serves as Secretary on the Board of the American Impressionist Society. She is an Associate with Distinction member of the American Women Artists and a Signature member of AIS.
