It's always a blast to paint with the folks in Knoxville! This was an entertaining bunch and some very talented artists. 🙂

Held in the studio of Pat Kochan and Naomi Brotherton, the Artisan’s Studio workshop was a fantastic class on painting glass. There were a few professional artists in this group, some talented up-and-comers and even a couple of beginners. All did an incredible job in rendering this challenging still-life. Armed with lots of gum and…

Destrehan, Louisiana WorkshopWith a group of 34, workshops can be hysterical. We had lots of fun, and did some great painting, but I was never in control of this runaway parade. Just on the outskirts of New Orleans, this was a great place for a workshop! Spring was in full bloom and the excitement level…

How we accomplished this complicated painting in three days is still a bit of a mystery. It was a fun-filled race the entire way, but we got it done. The participants all created equally successful pieces too. Some of those folks are simply amazing! Don't bother to inquire about the original on this demo…Muriel, pictured…

This weekend's architectural watercolor workshop was a blast! The great folks in Tyler made it almost too much fun! It was certainly way too short of a visit. We've already time-warped back to the frigid Midwest and are dreaming of the 70 degree weather we enjoyed this week in TX. I am already looking forward…
