Week of Feb. 9...Started the week in Winter Haven for a three day session ...weather was in the 70's and sunny. First day at Lake Alfred, Wednesday at Bok Tower - the highlight of my trip, so far!...absolutely stunning structure with beautiful gardens...constructed in Art Deco period by Edward Bok... What a day! Thursday was at the downtown park, where I got a demo finished, just ahead of a shower which lasted rest of the day.The class finished up at a coffee shop...St Augustine was a single day's visit, on a very cold windy day...50 degrees, so I did the one sketch and a number of pix... On to Palm Coast...
Planning for the tour started in February, as I looked at my 'bucket list', for those things which I wanted to achieve in my artistic life. I’ve enjoyed sharing my art knowledge with fellow artists for over fifty years. It’s a joy sketching & painting 'en plein air', over being in a studio. Journaling can be done anywhere; on a ship, a train, car or whatever. This makes it ideal for seniors who can’t or won’t lug an easel and other items used in sketching and painting.
Hi Don,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you the other day.
I just viewd your blog and the work is great to see. It appears as though you are having too much fun however. I'm jealous.
Give me a call some time so wwe can catch up.
Best regards,
Dave
Looking forward to meeting you at Indian Rocks
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much Don for the great demo in Leesburg which I guess you snuck in after Winter Haven!
ReplyDeleteI took lots of notes. I was that lady in the front row that worried about taking time from her friends when traveling. My husband is long suffering and always takes magazine and finds places to walk and explore while I am painting. I already use Getz Gray...great color. Liked your reminder about distilled water. And I already use Micron Pigma pens for my Zentangles. (see http://ginnystiles.blogspot.com) Oh and thanks for donating the demo!
