Art and Soul Las Vegas--Wonderful!

Yesterday I returned from a delightful time at Art and Soul Retreat, Las Vegas. Our hotel was in Henderson, just outside of the city. I had never been to Las Vegas before, except for the airport. Amid all the casinos and swimming pools at our hotel, there were we artists ignoring the glitz and creating our own beauty.

I taught two classes, both encaustic. Today I'm showing you what my amazing students created in "Mind Your Own Beeswax." None of these students had used encaustic before but they took to it like bees to flowers. I got so excited to see what they came up with--all different and all wonderful.

More pictures tomorrow.
