7th Wilmur Painting Workshop

I was recently invited to teach at the 7th Annual Wilmur Workshop held outdoors for a week. What a fantastic group of people that treated me royally!!
We covered a lot of ground both physically for me, and figuratively for everyone. There are a few missing from this photo. There were 15 attended.  This was my second time teaching for them and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Thanks again, group! Keep in touch.

These geese have been inspiration many times

Rosy pears

This mixed media piece with acrylic and rice paper. It has
about 6 layers and is very textural.

Little Bear

This little bit of cute is a stuffed bean bag that a very dear friend made for me. The flower is from my garden. Yes, it finally warmed up enough! I may darken under the glass and bear a little more, we'll see.
