Back in Art School!

It's almost the end of September and school has started once again. I'm currently taking Figure Modeling, which is a new experience for me because I've never worked with clay before. I'm also taking Figure Drawing, which is challenging but I'm learning a lot. Another new experience for me this fall is the workshop I'm giving at the local YMCA, I'm teaching a pastel workshop to a small group of children. We'll be working on landscape paintings this week!

The Zoo To Do benefit for the Thompson Park Zoo is right around the bend October 3rd, 2009 from 6:30 - 9:30 at the Flower Memorial Library. Adirondack chairs, painted by local artists will be sold and part of a silent auction during the benefit. Here is the chair I've painted for the benefit...I wish I could be there but I'll be in Old Forge for the Plein Aire Event that weekend.
