"Polka Dot Blues..."
12 x 12in oil on museum quality panel
Okay, as you know, if you have been following my blog--I have been hanging out in Italy and France for quite some time. With the advent of my workshop in Lexington, I felt the need to do a practice run back into the flower fields....so "Polka Dot Blues...." is the result of that. I sat it up this still life in my studio and timed myself in order to be able to do it and talk and get it done before all attending grew tired and went home....I figured if all else failed, I would just have everyone take a bathroom break and then sneak this one onto the easel while they were away...:)) Well, as it turned out, I didn't have to do a "bait and switch"...
Here's the Lexington Crew Hard at Work......
Sometimes, it doesn't pay to show up and teach a workshop. I mean, when you have students like Ann H. arrive with a bald head under one arm and wig in the other hand....well, you begin to wonder, what have I gotten myself into.....I mean, I don't want to lose my head over this---it's just a floral painting workshop. Momma told me there'd be days like this. Well, not like this............It has been a full day...workshop, demo, dodging crazy lady with bald head, blog radio (which today turned into "Artists Helping Artists Roadshow" with me on location and Leslie moving her son back home from college...:) And I actually came home and painted one of my French scenes--which I will post another day--it has been, all the way around, a happy, satisfying day.
And I still have two more days of the workshop with great people to hang out with. Life is abundant and full..:) Have a beautiful Friday and do something special for yourself--you so deserve it!
