Artist Workshops...

I've scheduled myself for several artist workshops /retreats the coming months - beginning Saturday. The watercolor, acrylic and drawing workshops I'm taking, take place here in Raleigh and the Outer Banks. The textile bookmaking class I am super excited about, occurs in the Fall and is being taught in the River Arts District of the Blue Ridge Mountains. THAT is going to be amazing.

First in the series is a watercolor workshop on Saturday. Really looking forward to this. The last watercolor workshop I took was several years ago at the Sunflower Gallery and Studios in Downtown Wake Forest.

I have been working on several ideas in my sketchbooks for watercolor paintings that I'm hoping may now come to fruition through my participation in these workshops. We'll see how that goes.

Rafael's Mum said...: Oooh, how marvellous! Looking forward to seeing what you paint. I always wanted to be able to draw and paint but I'm rubbish at it sadly. Sounds like great fun though and great surroundings!; July 9, 2012 at 5:33 AM
Jeanne Turner McBrayer said...: I am jealous! Would love to take a class in Asheville--or even the Sunflower Studio which is only about three miles from home. Can't wait to see what you produce!; July 13, 2012 at 4:39 PM

I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realisation that they create their own reality". The Eagle said, "Give it to me, i will take it to the moon".The creator said, "No, one day they will go there and find it".The salmon said, "I will bury it at the bottom of the ocean".The creator said, " No they will go there too".The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the great plains".The creator said, " No, they will cut the skin of the Earth and find it even there".Grandmother mole, who lives in the breast of Mother earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes said, "Put it inside of them".And the creator said, "It is done!"

Native American (Sioux) Proverb

Everything the Power of World Does - is done in a Circle....

The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. And so it is in everything where power moves.
