After a long winter, it’s a joy to be in the season of Green again! Although I like painting snow scenes, it’s fabulous to be surrounded by the vibrant colors of Spring. Yesterday was my first class of the year – held at Tin Cat Studio in a wonderful creative space with four enthusiastic and talented students. And we had such a good time painting skies, rocks, water and a lighthouse! In spite of my best efforts, I face these classes with some reluctance – frankly, it’s a lot of work to gather all the supplies but I also think it’s because I’ve never thought of myself as a teacher. But once the tables are set up, the supplies for each student in place, and the doors open, I’m filled with a positive anticipation and can allow my spirit to settle into the process. And the results are amazing! I’m continually amazed at the tremendous creative abilities of students – even those who haven’t painted for many years. The next class will be held at the Arts In Hand Gallery in Spooner, WI, on Thursday, June 16.
