Camillias, dogwoods and cherry blossoms - Spring is BACK!!!






Here is my latest FINISHED painting. I painting this in Robert Johnson's recent workshop. What a great time and great group of artists. I have to say that was the most pleasurable workshop I've ever taken. There was tons of space, super nice people, and an abundance of material. In addition to Robert's flowers and fruit, one of the students was a florist and brought buckets of flowers. I bought my own too, so we were over flowing with great material. Same student also brought still life material, including this very nice bowl. It was perfect. I was not anticipating this set up (unlike the painting I will show you next, which was completely planned and severely thought out). This was spontaneous and an orchestrated throwing of flowers on the table. What fun.



Robert was so kind to also host a reception at his studio at the old Jackson school in Georgetown. It such an inviting studio with beautiful paintings on walls and easels, huge windows, tall ceilings. It was a pleasure and I hated to leave.
