Yesterday was my last weekly class of the season. It has been such a joy to spend Monday afternoons with this group. And what a year we’ve had!
When we started painting still life in my studio in November, was closed because of flooding from Helene. The storm had displaced three of my students, and another lost her cars. Collectively, we were a mess, and getting together to paint some little still lives seemed like a baby step back to normalcy.
By January we were at Suntan’s new location, painting both indoors and out. We studied palm trees, photographed and painted birds, practiced our color mixing and talked about clouds and edges
My students are kind and generous, insightful and funny, and all of them are talented artists. I wish I had taken more pictures! But here are a few.
