Hard to believe it’s been five months since my last blog! All is good, but haven’t painted too much. I did
attend a weekend workshop with artist Robert Thoren in early February. It was held at a
studio in Purcellville which I am still raving about to anyone who will listen.
A fantastic venue, wonderful space, and the most delightful
owner-artist-hostess, Francie. Great
group of people and the perfect space-to-attendee-ratio. Small pic of the painting I did there is
below. Also finally getting my workspace
back to normal now that the painters (er, the other kind) finished several rooms
as we’re planning to put the house on the market early next year. Have a to-do list a mile
long, but who doesn’t!
Besides the workshop, my art club is my mainstay – it always gets me
going with the challenges. My turn to host was in January and my challenge was
to paint something that started with the letter “K” (I’ll spare you the details
on the overall lame challenge I came up with).
Kitchen Sink was indeed quite a challenge. It is from another one of Viacheslav’s
PaintMyPhoto entries. Metal, water, soap
bubbles – oh my! Had a blast doing
it.

I am going to try and get back into the swing of things by challenging
myself to blog weekly and paint a lot more often! If you enjoyed this blog, please add your email to the list above (top right) to automatically receive new blog postings in your inbox.
Already have a surprise in the works for next week – stay tuned.
Enjoy - life is joy we make one moment at a time,
