In July 2021 I finally got to go back to an in person art workshop.  Even better, it was back in Atlanta with the tireless and talented Chery Baird through Spruill Arts Center.  And to top it off, my dear friend Deb Lehman was there painting right along side me.  I’ve taken this workshop,before, and the format means that you start five or six paintings, and may or may not finish them because we work in rounds of prompts.

The fun comes from the variety of mark making, materials, and layers that goes into each one, and even if we’re all following the same general directions no two pieces ever come out looking the same general directions, no two pieces ever come out looking the same.  I still have A few unfinished pieces from this session, and to be honest a few unfinished pieces from sessions before, but I feel pretty reinvigorated.
