Workshop Fun


Great Group!  I'm on the end at the left; it was an uplifting and FUN weekend... 

16 painters joined me last weekend for a workshop in Atlanta, at the studio of Yvonne Mendez, which was sponsored by The Art School in Sandy Springs.  We just had a GREAT time, and I had a wonderful experience with these talented people.  Luckily, one of the participants, Denise Rose, sent me some photos of everything, the people, the set-ups, and me in action, which I share below.  Prior to teaching a workshop, I get anxious and worry about it all: i.e, " Can I paint?  What will I share?  YIKES! " Fortunately, as in the past, it went well, the attendees were SO open and sharing, and it was just a rewarding experience for me.  

Next workshops that I'm teaching are at Huff Harrington Fine Art in Atlanta, both of which are sold out, but one to two more will be scheduled in the fall.

  4. Nancy, I really enjoyed your workshop. It was very freeing to paint with a bigger brush. I stopped over at Huff Harrington today and saw some of your beautiful floral paintings
