I was unable to attend due to a very ill pet. I contacted Ollie who was more than kind, helpful, and compassionate. I live out of town but will certainly try to attend another class if I?m here when another class is offered.

Title or Location: Flamenco Dancer
My Father lived in Spain for 2 years and studied its history in depth for several years in college. He loves everything about it and has been back to visit multiple times throughout his life. I wanted to create a painting for him for Father's Day that captured something about Spanish culture as well as something of beauty and I thought this did just that. This is a Flamenco dancer in a Spanish Hacienda Courtyard. (Reference picture used was from my AI app i have). I have a background in dra

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

This young woman was waiting for a ceremony to begin that I was attending. She lives in West Africa and was wearing a string of random beads that my African friends prefer. Her expression was open but patient and knowing. I thought some of her grandmother's wisdom must have come to her, just like the necklace.
