Afterglow

I am following up on a wonderful and incredible time we had at the July 7th 1011 workshop.

Five students spent 5 days painting and a day trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico to tour art galleries.

Each day there was a morning class and an afternoon class and we covered  new and exciting topics in each class. There was several breakthroughs, a lot of stretching with new ideas. Everyone worked intheir style, yet we pushed them to embrace other ideas and stay within their style..

Ask Lauraine about using a two inch brush. We covered the subject, painting with diffrent perspective. We looked at abstract paintings and impressionist paintings and how they differ.

One of the highlights was the gourmet meals which Lori Melvin prepared for us. The table was set in a special art motiff for each meal.  The meals were so good. We had a special tea time every day at 3PM.

One of the special events of the week was a mini concert by Harvy Schwartz and Dave McDonough. Harvey played the piano, Dave wrote words to the piece and I painted to the poetry and music.

The students included Lynne, Lauraine, Flo, Nancy and Jenny.
