Art @ the Lake # 6

This year, we "played with clay".. we each got 13# of fresh clay to work with. It was so much fun and everyone created wonderful stuff.  It was a surprise to us that after we formed our images, we had to hollow them out so when they are fired, they don't explode. They will be fired in a couple of weeks. If they are as wonderful i as i think, i'll post them again.
The weekend was a blast with lots of laughs, secrets shared and good food, plus having the creative juices flow.

Happy Mother's Day SOLD @ RRFAS '14

This is an Acrylic on canvas.  Used a photo i took one mother' day. I always wondered what Mother Nature thinks of those bright blue flowers, that are colored by a florist and by me....

Landscapes done @ the workshop

Aren't these beautiful? I really don't think I'll ever use a watercolor palette again. No saving the whites, no mixing pigments on the palette, just put it out there..  Only problem is, Calvin does it so much better..ha...
Thanks to the Cormorant Art Club for putting on this workshop.

workshop in August 2013

My Pal, Bobbie, and I are following the directions, as you can see. We had a great time at the Calvin deRuyter workshop in Cormorant Village. It was wonderful. We actually painted directly from the watercolor tubes with stiff brushes on 300# paper. WOW..
