More workshop 2018

Apparently there is a limit to the space in a blog post, who knew.
  ANYWAY, we met a lot of new artists and enjoyed the artists we already knew.  Mark was an excellent teacher, paving the way for me to do an abstract, at least understanding the process, kinda....  We used a lot of gesso, gouache, yupo paper, stencils, stamps, rollers, etc.
  We went out to dinner with thalo blue and quin rose fingernails..   doesn't that sound classy????

Shoe Sketch from the 80's

What a fun surprise in the mail.  a friend from my home town sent this back to me, made up on a new card.  I had sent it to her in 1982.  She even enclosed part of my letter. ( My handwriting has not improved.)
Thank you Darlene...... SO cool.
