pitcher and peaches

This is the final step, I am ok with this painting, its the very first of many to come.( I believe that for me and the young talent that I have, )Paintings that do not have hard-crisp lines will be best for now.

tour of studios

This has been a fantastic day!!! I am so very impressed with the artists that we met today. At Kevin Byrne's studio I was pleasantly surprised to run into the women that first made art reachable to me-Cindy Williams (my art appr. instructor.), I love the lg. ceramic platters that Kevin has.
It is refreshing to hear that people really use different approaches to achieve satisfaction with their work, Kristal Tomshany told me that the crow painting's background was done with a feather,.awesome.
As I looked threw the guide booklet, the studio that I wanted to go to first was Mary Russell's and Lynn Cark's. Being very excited with Native American paintings, I am in awh, these ladies were very approachable, I felt so comfortable speaking with them-I am uncomfortable around extremely talented people only because artistic ability is completely honest and I have so much respect for these amazing people. Even when I started my painting class I was uneasy with Margie-but-she's is another artist that is completely approachable. loving this new side of my life. Thank you to all the talented people.
