Dear Subscribers,

Greetings. If this newsletter takes a bit to load, it's because there's a ton of pictures. I want to share a bit of the workshop experience. This most recent one was in Lindale, Texas. Most of these pictures are of the two demonstrations, but my workshops primarily focus on painting time for the students with me working with each individual to solve composition and technique problems. I keep the classes small so I can go in depth with each student. That is the style of teaching I enjoy.
