I recently attended a workshop given by Carolyn Walton in Freeport Maine for three days. She was a wonderful teacher and the group was supportive and welcoming. I love the intense focus that a workshop brings to ones art practice. I came home in a buzz, filled with the motivation that comes from that intensity and the desire to keep the practice going strong.

With fall color springing up around me the passion to paint is almost desperate. As I look around me I see opportunities everywhere with the realization that they are so fleeting.

Another show is in the works at the Northampton Coop Bank in Amherst the beginning of November. Stay tuned.
