In this month (June) newsletter I also have prepared a free pattern for you. It is a very traditional folk art motif which comes in many variations. It's not only used for painting, ... in wood carvings, quilts etc. ... plays the Tree of Life an important part of the many folk art designs and he also can be found in many cultures throughout the globe.

With the free Tree of Life painting I have included a short painting instruction and a drawing, you can easily adjust it to the size you need.

I hope you will enjoy painting it.

This month I was sending out my January newsletter, besides some general information about my latest cd-books, classes etc. I have also posted a link to our

free Bauernmalerei Pattern.

The original design comes from an old cabinet - about 1820, it shows a decorative border ( baroque rocaillen) and a brench with roses and small flowers.

I did add a short painting instruction, color picture and a drawing which you can resize to your needs. I hope you enjoy that pattern.
