Carmelita is a foal at an Arabian horse ranch in central California. My
friend Michele who I'm staying with drove us out there Wednesday evening
and I got some great shots just before sunset! This one was my first
workshop demo on Thursday morning. (I recorded video of the demo, but
will need to edit and format at home before posting... keep on the
lookout!)
I and my ten ladies had a fun and enriching workshop in Paso Robles.
Everyone was very attentive and eager to put my methods of warm
underpaintings into practice. They were a smart and talented group and I
feel blessed to have been able to work (play) with them for these past
three days.
I also have the good fortune to have made a new connection with a gallery - my first out-of-state gallery contract! The
Heritage Gallery West
will soon be showing my work (after I can get home and paint some more
stuff! Lol.) The next time I schedule a California workshop, I might
just have to drive out here, so I can bring some large pieces to the
gallery and save on shipping... (Ok, really I just love to drive. ;)
My flight back home is on Monday, so tomorrow (Sunday) will be a little
'vacation' day and I plan to drive to Monterrey, then back down Hwy 1 in
the afternoon and evening. (Probably pulling over at every overlook to
take pictures!) I hope to time it right to catch the sunset right before
turning back inland to return to Paso Robles.

my blog for some pics of my ladies and their accomplishments this weekend!
