Jason Sacran workshop

Jason's demo paint-a-long for nocturnal.

David had a very nice painting.

Darla worked on a watercolor.  I would think it would be a real challenge with watercolors.

We looked like a flash mob of nocturne painters.

Connie's hat looked like outer space.

Day one:  painting the Monet garden at the Arboretum.

Jason had a different approach than I had used in the past for this scene.  

A new Monet sculpture….with Jason in his space!

Getting some distance.

My block in for the afternoon painting.

My selected scene.

This was my second choice.

Jason's afternoon demo day two.

What a great workshop with Jason.  Everyone in the group of students were so appreciative of his class.  I saw improvements on everyones work too.  I have suggested he return for another workshop through MVIS.  I will talk with the chief….Greg Summers, to try to arrange it!

May 8th at the Clagues

Our model.  He is Elizabeths' dad.

Elizabeth modeled for us in the ballerina outfit a few weeks ago.  She was earning money to buy this American Girl doll!  Matching outfits and all, she came to show her new doll off.

Can Kathy hold anything more in her hand?  She is loving her new easel.  

Warm up painting in Augusta! Just as I was finishing a painting of the Airstream, the lawnmower man came and blue grass all over me and the wet painting.

Derald relaxing after setting up the Airstream for me in Augusta.  Bless his heart he drove the Airstream up, set her up, and drove home the next day.  Left me for 10 days, drove back and packed the trailer back up and hauled it home.

Teddy Jackson won the purchase award for this painting.  Congratulations Teddy!  

I won Honorable Mention for my painting at this event.  I was thrilled.  It was one cold and windy day I painted this one.  Note the snow pants?
