So I survived the 6 mile race, (whew!) and am here to report (will post about the run tomorrow). My class in Sedona last week went swimmingly. Ok, aside from the force fed wine and dessert. The first day we woke up to snow. This was the view from my hotel balcony:
The snow eventually changed to hail, and everything melted by the end of the day ... except for way up high in the mountains. It was a good day to be inside painting.
I always seem to forget something when I travel, and this time I forgot my camera. So I had to settle for iphone pics. Above are my kids slaving away. And below are some of the paintings produced, including 4 of my demos (sold), one row up from the bottom.
We took a group photo, but it was with a better camera than mine and is being emailed to me - will post later. So I'll end with a very serious question: how many artists does it take to change a lightbulb? My kids and I were brainstorming an answer. Please tell me your ideas and I'll post some good ones tomorrow, including our favorite from last week!

What a beautiful array of paintings! Looks like lots of fun and deligent work. Congratulations everyone for great results!
One, as long as she knows what she's doing and decides on a good abstract shape, an interesting color harmony and a good layout. A good artist can change anything even in a life painting and make it read true.
As for your iPhone photos, they look good! I just got my iPhone 4 and it's better than my previous digital camera. I'm having loads of fun with it, the HDR is exciting and gives me much better reference photos.
I can see into the shadows! I can tell if the sky was blue or pink now even if there's bright sunlight. It's a big kick.
Love that photo of the paintings from your workshop, yours and your students. Those sienna studies look so gorgeous and rich. Nothing like a warm monochrome for depth and power!
Not surprising all your demos sold, they're beautiful.
Lovely painting and awesome picture.
It is impossible for an artist to change a lightbulb. First they would do a set up in natural light, paint it, crop it, frame it, critique it, turn it to the wall and walk away in disgust to find a glass of wine.
