Taught a great 2 day workshop…12 hours of instruction. It was great fun with awesome students. The class was about 30 percent fairly new artists, 30 percent intermediate and 30 percent advanced. Always hard to do a good class that covers all abilities but I kind of think I nailed it with the education and subjects Of course it was about painting nature in my style but I did plan it very carefully in the hopes that it would be the best workshop.  Here are some of the lovely comments and testimonials.  Send me your name if you want to be part of next workshop.
