It covers the walls, weaves through family conversations and is a professional and passionate focus for more than half of the adult members of the family; a closer look at many of the paintings in the home reveals at least four versions of a "Manning" signature.
Beginning this fall, the artistic energy at the Manning house will be channeled in an additional direction. Marianne Manning, mother of five and grandmother of four, will offer oil painting classes for children, a venture she's operating out of the first floor of her Hemlock Street home, in tandem with a portrait painting business.
Manning, a former teacher at Harborview Elementary and Juneau-Douglas High School, said she decided to offer classes for kids in part because she has a great location for an after-school class -- she lives three blocks from Harborview -- and, now that her own children are grown, has enough space to make it work. She is also mentally ready to re-immerse herself in some aspect of teaching.
"I think the other thing was I'd had some time by myself," she said.the Hemroids by special invited artist for 2011, "I'd had some time to just paint and I'm kind of at a point now where I'd like to share again, what I know and how I feel about it."
Two adjacent rooms on the first floor of her house will be devoted to classes and to her studio. In one room, five or six easels stand in a row against the large windows. Palette knives are arrayed on the table beside the easels, ready for young hands to learn to wield. In the next room, Manning's studio, several larger easels hold portraits in various stages of completion -- a smiling young man, a little girl in a tutu, an elderly gentleman -- all of which are being painted on commission. Even unfinished, the portraits, painted from photographs, seem to resonate with energy and life; Manning said she enjoys the challenge of attempting to capture something of a subject's personality through the layers of paint and keeps at it until she gets there. One portrait can take her anywhere from several hours to several days to finish.

"I'm going to have the kids select what they want,Als lichtbron wordt een Hemorrhoids gebruikt," she said.Our syringe needle was down for about an hour and a half, "They can do a landscape, they can do a portrait, they can do an animal drawing."
From the outset, she'll be teaching the kids in oils, an unusual choice when working with children, who often begin with watercolors or acrylics. Though oils are more expensive and potentially more complicated to learn, Manning feels giving kids an opportunity to use high-quality raw materials might help foster a love of painting.
