Happy to go and happy to be home again:)! 

 It was a picture perfect week -- great weather (the locals kept trying to tell us how much it rains, but personally, I think they are trying to discourage us landlubbers from moving to the island;))

A great location to paint in, all kinds of new, amazing artists/people to meet, dozens of completed paintings,  new inspirations to paint--

What's left to say.  

We came, we saw, we painted, we laughed.

We're going back!!!

Cary and Sieb (our awesome hosts for the workshop) opened their home to us for the evening allowing for some great social time!

Which inspired MORE GREAT ART!!

Which in turn inspired.....ahem....more eating;))

As in snarfing down fresh home baked bread by Cary (some of which was "no knead" bread but we felt like we did "need" it....along with REAL BUTTER, of course:))

Along with maybe a glass of wine.

And some salad and pasta.

And a berrry wonderful dessert with ICE CREAM.

Now that I rehearse it all---when did they have time to crank out all those paintings???

Lovely artists, inside and out:)

The smiles say it best.

We had a marvelous time!

Thanks to each of the warm, giving, talented artists who made my week on Whidbey Island one to smile about:)

Sometimes a movie just says it best:))

"On the Island" SOLD

"On the Island"

12 x 12in oil on museum quality panel

SOLD

Look how cute my little home away from home was at the Whidbey Island workshop! 

 It was STUFFED with art books of every shape, size and description...had an amazing coffee maker (see the red Nespresso) ...

Soft cotton sheets and cookies in the cookie jar..er at least there were cookies in that cookie jar 

(...sorry Cary!)

 Just next door was Cary Jurriaan's studio (my host for this workshop and amazing artist herself!) 

LOVE her collection of palettes!  

All kinds of artists from Robert Johnson to Carol Marine have left a colorful palette and signed it for Cary to hang in her studio. 

I was tickled to be added to the wall:)))

Just a few of the palettes!

From creamy, dreamy, hand spun yarn

to a ton of fun little tiles that reminded me of a certain black and white someone

Whidbey Island was a visual feast! 

(okay, I didn't just consume the cookies with my eyes...I snorkeled them down.  Good thing they only weigh luggage at the airport...just sayin')

And that all happened before the workshop began...

As the paintings started accumulating (and 5 days painting produced an amazing stack of work!)

Well, it just kept getting more and more amazing.

I nearly had to put my eyes on a diet from "over-eating"..;)

Is there a visual over-eaters anonymous 12 step program??

Just wonderin'.

Stay Tuned:

More to come on the Whidbey Island workshop and announcement of my monthly giveaway winners!!

Workshop morning goodness.

(Can you tell that Cary Jurriaans of WFAS is an artist as well as the hostess for wonderful workshops year round??:))  

Look what a colorful spread--pretty enough to paint

...but we ATE it instead;))

However.....the artists did manage to get  around to painting:)!

18 beautiful paintings from the first day of the Widbey Island Fine Art Workshop:)))!

My home sweet home for almost a week!!  Loaded with tons of art books, superb coffee, and an incredible view out my window.  Great for morning quiet time before starting the workshop day:)))

Some bunny should have told me how magical this place would be.  Then I would have packed more clothes and just moved here;)))

More to come on the fun times and great art being made on Whidbey Island:)!!

Meanwhile, back in Kentucky....somebody was caught looking out the window, waiting for someone special...

Either me or the Edster bunny.

Not sure which.
