It's been a while since I posted, and I almost feel a little guilty. But, like the rest of you, I have been slammed with getting ready for holiday shows, prepping for lessons, etc. My blog just had to take a back seat to all of the rest! I have missed my blog community. Even though I haven't been around, I know all of you are here and will be here as I come and go!
I have held a couple of watercolor batik workshops in addition to my five weekly classes at three different Senior Centers in the county. I have been painting up a storm, batik, watercolors, mixed media and plain old acrylics. Love it all, but have felt the pressure! I had to complete several new batiks to make a total of thirteen for my 2012 calendar. Then, of course, Christmas cards, new projects, etc, etc and so forth!
One great thing I did for myself, well four great things since I have posted, I attended four mini weekend workshops that were wonderful. Some more wonderful than others. Funny thing, I didn't finish one painting in any of the workshops, but I was so inspired and really had a rush of creativity as I integrated lessons learned from all of them. Will try to post a little more often as we near the end of 2011, and show a few pieces that were the result of some of my workshop lessons.
I'll start with a few of my new batiks, as those will be the first to make public viewing the first Friday of December at the Holiday Art Walk in Anacortes, Washington.
