FUN, FUN, FUN - Had by All!






















Our Great Portrait Workshop was a sold out, fun filled, and challenging weekend.  The three-day class included instruction on drawing the face, drawing from a live nude model, and explanation of limited palettes for flesh colors and painting the darks, middle tones, and highlights of a face.  Very hard working chickadees in this class, but lots of laughter and fun had by all.  Can't wait to do it again.

Celebration!


Everything is just about back in order.  Unpacked, cleaned, rested, and played in the studio.  As I was going through the Piccolo Spoleto photos, this one stood out from the rest.  My husband, Robert, and I celebrate our wedding anniversary out in Marion Square each year.  Here he is holding my flowers, while I try to find something to put them in.  Priceless.  He's the best!
