Thanks, Mary! I am a big believer of finishing the artwork so that wherever you look you will notice something new or be led to those areas. That’s what my next class focuses on.

Thanks, Jackie!

I just realized something else – when I first looked at the painting, my eyes went directly to the water which is really in the background. I hardly noticed the flowers out front. When I looked again several hours later, I saw all the vibrant flowers and they really covered the waterfront. I strained to pick out the channels cut by the boats and thought maybe it was a different painting. Then I looked again today and can clearly see all the parts but am amazed at what draws me in is different depending on the day or time I look. Another reason why I love your work.

Lorraine, thanks so much! I enjoy teaching tremendiously! One benefit for having an online class vs. a self-study one is that it’s possible to give personal guidance. I like to follow the development my students make during the class and make sure they will move on to the direction they feel most natural and most satisfying.

Kiitos! Todennäköisesti keväällä uusintana!

Thanks, Sandi! I find your comment most interesting as science was one subject that I thought when I was creating the workshop and this painting was made at the same time!

Thanks, Dorothy! These three are my favorite mediums! So great together!

Thanks, Peg!

Thanks, Nancy! Yes, I think for many finishing is as much of a problem than experiencing the freedom of creating. One reason why I developed the workshop!

Thanks, Chris! I will probably repeat it again next year. India sounds wonderful.
