Great week in NC

I had no clue how hard it would be to leave Cary, North Carolina when I was invited to judge the Watercolor Society of North Carolina show and teach a workshop here. The judging was harder than expected, with stellar work to rank. My speaking engagement was more emotional than I expected, but very well received. My hosts were so very gracious and set a new bar for southern hospitality. The workshop participants were so nice, completely engaged, ambitious, talented and so much fun!
My demo painting seemed to come together magically at the final minutes and then I was whisked to the airport without sufficient time to catch my breath and tell them all how much I enjoyed spending this time with them. Hopefully I can return soon and run into them all again.

Now I'm bound for Calcutta, India for the International Art Meet Kolkata and will be there after 30 or so hours in transit. The next adventure awaits!
