"Apple #854" & more workshop photos --- SOLD

Ok, I haven't painted 854 apples, but sometimes I feel like I have. : ) This apple was my demo yesterday. I give my students first dibs ... and at this point I've still nothing to put on ebay. Below are a couple of photos from this week's class. There are 17 students, the most I've ever had on my own. They say herding artists is like herding cats, but so far I haven't had nearly that much trouble with this group. : )



My kids, hard at work.

More Canada Photos

Here's one of my demos from last week - a dark blue cup with white dots. It was a tough one and I didn't manage to get a great photo. My students bought up every one of my demos. I ended up teaching on Saturday as well with just a few students (since I missed Monday). For lunch, since there were just a few of us, we drove into town and had a very nice lunch. Below is a photo of us outside the Rusty Pelican (Jim, Judy, me & Shelley). Shelley was hesitant to smile much as she thought the other photo I posted of her made her look at bit manic. : ) She is probably the most generous person I've ever met as she invited me back to her house on the lake to relax on Sunday with her & her family. I had a lovely time and she was so nice as to send me back to Red Deer with an extensive care package - enough food for the rest of the week! Thank you Shelley and family!



Tomorrow I start a new class with 17 students. I just hope the students are as fun and enthousiastic as the first group!

EMAIL TROUBLE

I am having trouble with my email. I can receive it but I can't reply or send any email out at all. I have one more week here in Canada - one more workshop - so please bear with me. I won't be able to mail out any paintings until I get back either, as I can't send the invoices to my husband. I will be back on the 2nd of August and will be getting stuff out in the few days after that. Thank you for your patience!!! -Carol

More Canada Workshop Photos

My students have purchased all of my demos so far, and I didn't photograph them in time to post, so here are more photos from the workshop. Above: my kids busy at work.



Above: a few of my new buds. There are about 12 workshops going on at once here this week at Red Deer College during their "Summer Series", and there will be all new ones next week. Every Thursday they have a student show to share all the work with everyone here. These are some of my students at the show, admiring all the great art.



Above: some of my student's paintings in the show. It's a terrible photo - they were sitting on a window sill with tons of light coming in from behind. I couldn't get them all because there were people in the way.
