Mary Whyte

I had the extreme pleasure of actually taking a class with the fabulous Mary Whyte last week. I had a great time working in watercolor (which I only dabble in) and for first the first time, I did watercolors upright on an easel with life models. I had a blast and learned so much. 

I am thinking about her teaching this morning as a prepare to go downstairs and teach Day 2 of my workshop in Spring Hill. "Am I being true to my style?" she asked us.  "Are you thinking in shapes, values, color and edges...not inventory?" Beautiful. I am so jazzed.

Island Art Workshop

Loved teaching at the Island Art Association this past weekend in Fernandina Beach! I was super proud of you ladies and all the creations that were made and started. I was so excited during the critique that I totally didn't take enough photos! Here's a few that I got. I can't wait to come back next fall/winter and do another workshop. Love this town, this art center and the energy of you fabulous ladies! Send me photos of your other pieces when they are finished.
