Busy Days Coming Up

Are you sad to see summer ending? I know I am in many ways. I love the more relaxed pace (even though I'm working, I feel more relaxed.) I've had so much fun with my grandson, attending five outdoor Shakespeare plays and the high-toned classic, Men in Black III at the local Academy Theater.

The last few days I've started to feel the excitement of fall and new projects stirring in me. I've finished filming my online encaustic class for Creative Workshops. I'm grateful to Gail for hosting the class and  to Julia Gardner for filming! The go-at-your-own-pace workshop opens on October 22.

Ready to film!

Here's an intro to the class. You can see more here:

 Now it's time to get ready to teach at Art Is...You in Petaluma! More on that in the next post.

A fun day with Wabi-Sabi

I had a wonderful time teaching "Wabi-Sabi Wonder" at Julia Gardner's studio in the Troy Laundry Building on Saturday. All the participants in the workshop were experienced artists. They were excited to experiment with painting and mixed media work with a wabi-sabi aesthetic.They were all such delightful and interesting women--I hope I get to spend time with them again!
