My workshop last week went really well. But before I tell you about that I have some news that will affect my painting habits for a little while. Over the weekend my husband broke his ankle, and unfortunately it's bad enough that it will probably require a surgery or two. So while he's healing I will be full time nurse and single mom, which means my painting time will be limited. I love my husband, and if he's a good patient, we both might live through this.
On to my workshop in Springfield last week. The Emerald Art Center turned out to be an ideal space, with a separate room for my demos, and a camera and screen to project them on. I'm happy to be doing 3 more there this year (more on that soon)! My kids were pretty typically wonderful, though I did have to yell at them a few times (I tell you - it's like herding cats!). <- Here are some pictures of them working.
It was nice to be able to recommend the restaurants for once, ones with really fantastic cocktails, which was a great way to relax at the end of each day. My kids and I -> had tons of fun together and I miss them already!
Fantastic workshop, Carol. We had a blast and learned a lot. My condolences to David, that sucks! Hope he is better soon.
ReplyDeleteDarn. Bad things do happen to good people. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for David and a return to a normal schedule for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol! I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby!!! Ouch! :(
ReplyDeleteI know you will be a great nurse because you are so sweet and caring. I loved my workshop experience at the Emerald Art Center with you. I'm hoping to take everything I've learned from you ("islands first with the exception of glass") and to stop being so fussy! Thanks again for offering this great workshop! I hope I see you again. Take care. Love, Kim
Wishing your husband a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou ALWAYS have fun!!! One of the gazillion things I love about you!
ReplyDeleteAnd one of the things I love about this painting is that pop of perfect color/value on the plant in the shadow...wow...made me gasp!
BIG hug to David...here's to healing!

ReplyDeleteA New Hue of Blue
ReplyDeleteBlue pulls, beckoning to me,
come inside to the blue sky
but no, I trip on a stair
and oh, my ankle, I am
not going anywhere for
I have the blues, a deep shade
of ultra-david-marine.
