Whew! I know it has been awhile, but things have been so busy lately. I guess running after three 13-year-olds will do that to you. I finally got to take a break and get away for a wonderful art workshop given by the fabulous and talented Elizabeth Robbins. Check her out at http://www.elizabethrobbinsart.com/. Not only is she a wonderful still life painter, but she is a very talented teacher as well. She gave lots of hints and tips on theory and materials, not just how to paint in her style. I was very grateful to be able to attend. Above is a very poor photograph of the painting I completed in class. It is still at my friend, Joan's, house while it dries -- the workshop was in Virginia and I didn't want to try and move a wet painting all the way back to Texas. This next image, below, is the beautiful demo that Elizabeth did at the end of the workshop that I am lucky enough to now own. I wish I had even an ounce of her skill. Isn't she marvelous?!
