Hey, Check This Out

One of the participants in my workshop last week at Omega, Heather Dubreuil, has done a lovely post on her blog about the workshop.  Heather is a practiced textile artist and painter, and you can see her work here on her web site.  She has been in a number of my online classes, and this was the first time I met her in person.  It was such a pleasure to get to know her a bit and work with her at Omega.






Here are a few of Heather's textile pieces from her web site:




Thanks, Heather, for coming to the workshop and blogging about it.  Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog.

Workshop At OMEGA

Last week I was teaching at OMEGA, and had a fabulous group of students.  Do I say that about every workshop?  Maybe.  Guess I've just been lucky to get such great people participating in workshops.  Here is a little eye-candy from the week.  I took mostly group shots, as the lighting was not right for getting head-on shots of individual pieces.  THIS IS ALL STUDENT WORK.

Shapes, Lines, Patterns, Colors, YAY!

Spare and Graphic Collage

Gorgeous shapes!
Omega has a beautiful, tranquil, campus in Rhinebeck, NY.  It's like a luxurious summer camp for grown-ups, with lots of different housing options, great food, trails through the woods, a lake with boats you can use, gardens, a sanctuary for meditation, yoga classes open to everybody, plus wi-fi and cell service.  I love teaching there, and have also been a student.

Next year I will be teaching Intuitive Painting, June 4 - 9 at Omega.  This is open to all levels. 

I will also be teaching Visual Improvisation at Hudson River Valley Art Workshops, May 7 - 13. This is appropriate for "advanced beginner through intermediat" painters, meaning that you need to have some experience to get the most out of it.

Pix From Omega

Just a quick note to post pix from my workshop last week - "Reclaim Your Creative Freedom: Expressive Abstract Painting and Collage" at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.  What a week!! 
We had a great big airy classroom with a/c and lots of windows.


Here I am showing off again drawing (making marks, at least) with my foot.

And  now for a sampling of student work.  This is the tip of the iceberg, just a few pieces to give you an idea of the breadth of work the participants did:
