 |
| DAY
ONE: Just before critique: (Rear) Judy L, Tersilla G, Gale H, David P, Robin
K, (Front) Mee V, and Joann W. |
|
A beautiful
February day in Sacramento as we get ready for the critique and appreciation
of the day's work. |
 |
|
 |
| A
few of the many works created earlier this afternoon by one beginner, and
a group of accomplished painters! |
|
DAY
TWO: Robin finds her special spot and begins the set up process among the
trees. |
 |
|
 |
Gale
sets up near a couple of large trees that provide an interesting design
arrangement for this particular photo. |
|
Tersilla
- the very determined beginner in the group - prepares her preliminary sketch
along the river's edge. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Judy
gets into the swing of things early and gets set to paint on this beautiful
Wednesday afternoon by the river. |
|
Mee
and Gale take up positions close to one another. I notice each is painting
to the music of her own iPod! |
|
|
|
| While
others spread out among the trees, Joann selects a spot near the river bank
and an ample supply of water! |
|
David
- a prolific and fast painter - contemplates the approach for one of his
many accomplished paintings. |
 |
|
 |
| It's
fun to see a group of like-minded people spread out among the trees on a
brisk, spring-like afternoon! |
|
Gale
and Mee again. Here Mee trys her hand at a larger sized painting. All these
folks produced like crazy! |
 |
|
 |
| Joann
concentrates on her painting unaware of David in the background getting
a fresh supply of river water. |
|
Here's
a shot of my paintin' buddy, Rio guarding the area for us. David and Joann
are in the background. |
 |
|
 |
| Robin
and Woody discuss the pros and cons of making some design, shape, and value
decisions. |
|
Mee
takes time out for lunch. Luckily, Rio is unaware of an opportunity to mooch
some food! |
 |
|
 |
| Tersilla
and Judy hard at work. None of these folks wasted a minute of time getting
into the swing of things! |
|
Here
we are at the end of the day with only a portion of the day's painting production.
Lots of good stuff to appreciate. |
 |
|
 |
| Woody
gets one more opportunity to pass along some last minute information just
prior to the critique. |
|
It's
always a special honor and pleasure to meet new friends and experience the
joy of good paintings! |
 |
|
 |
| The
afternoon shadows decend on the final day of our two-day workshop. I always
find the last day a bit bittersweet. |
|
Wish
we had more time ... Joanne, Gale, Robin, David, Mee, and Judy. Hmm, where'sTersilla?
And, where's Rio? |
