Taught the workshop yesterday at Pacific Art League in Palo Alto. Great time. I’d asked for 20 artists, and that’s how many we had. As usual we started out in a classroom, by mid-day I tired of that, and moved everyone outdoors. In this case, that was a shaded patio on the top floor. So we dug on the California sun as I taught, as everyone asked questions, and as I also learned from the artists. I mean I can’t think of a single seminar I’ve conducted, where I didn’t learn something new from the crowd before me. That’s when teaching is at its best–when the learning is mutual.
God I do dig CA. But I’m a Midwesterner at heart. Time to go home soon.
The hours flew by yesterday at your workshop. Thanks for your advice and ideas and encouragement. I have a suggestion – you should open a gallery here in Northern California! Want to see my portfolio? Wishing you the best. Marian
Marian: Thanks. Very glad you enjoyed yourself. I did as well. Unlikely that I’ll be opening a gallery here, much as I love the place. However I had an interesting brunch yesterday that may lead to significant opportunities for Bay Area artists. Involves an area corp. Will keep you and everyone else posted.
