September 26th, 2020

I can't believe it has been 7 months since I have posted  here- however I do know that the passage of time has definitely morphed into something quite different these days!
Unusual times for sure; with a quieter, more introverted and 'homey' existence. And with the passing of my 98 year old father in June, and the subsequent dealing with his home and estate, my summer passed almost without notice other than the beauty of the gardens and beaches of this area.
The Wet Paint art group managed to keep in touch weekly however- with Zoom meetings initially and then when things opened up a bit we have been meeting outdoors at each others' homes. A lot of wonderful conversation and support although not so much painting! With the coming colder months we are still considering how we will keep meeting....
Back in my studio, I have managed to keep painting although not as consistently as I would have imagined with all this time on my hands! But I did open my studio up for drop-in sessions in the summer-- as we could paint outside and with appropriate social distancing,  in the studio. I did offer two 'Modern Impressionism in Acrylics / Landscapes"  classes and they were fabulous! Only 4 people at a time in each class worked well --- you can see some of the results below.
 As of September, I started Beginning Watercolour Classes- again with no more than 4 people per class.
All sign-ups for both classes and drop-in sessions is now on line --- Here is the link to the  Signup Genius website:

Here are some of the Modern Impressionism Class works- some still in progress:
