Fun teaching my Grass Orchid class at Blandy June 6. The afternoon class did a more realistic grass orchid using the grass orchid which grows in the courtyard at the Blandy Arboretum. The next class will launch soon on Eventbrite. It will cover Bamboo - Black and gold ink for the morning class, and green summery bamboo with touches of vermilion and gold for the afternoon class.

It's been a good month. These three Fall landscape paintings of scenes from the Blandy Experimental Farm sold thanks to Artists in Middleburg and Art at the Burwell Morgan Mill. There are still other paintings available at the Artists in Middleburg, and they are priced to sell. Visit Artists in Middleburg, right next to the Safeway! Thanks to my patrons, and may these paintings remind them of places they love.
