Bluebonnets Linda Rupard

We went to our place on the lake today which I think of as my hide away,  & we have Bluebonnets blooming.  If we could just get some rain more would bloom & our lake would get some much needed water.    Praying for rain here in the dry west TX area.

Doug Walton Workshop Linda Rupard

This was the last day of Doug's workshop.   I had good intentions of taking everyones photo with their painting but  I run out of gas at the end of the day & only got Joys paintings with her holding them & Eole's painting, maybe next year I can get everyone with at least one painting.  It was a week of fun filled days, good friends & hard work but lots of  work turned out.  Almost everyone got 4 paintings & some more.    First photo is of Doug giving critique with his paintings  you can see a yellow wash added to 3 but forth is waiting for a glow.  Second photo is of Estelle coming to the last day demo.  Estelle has taken every year since Doug started coming to Big Spring, which is several years now.  Estelle was unable to take this year but is gearing up for next year.  Some of our international class can be seen waiting for Estelle.  Many helping hands are holding her chair.

Doug Walton Workshop Linda Rupard

I am in a workshop with Doug Walton this week.   I have never been able to do abstract art easily and Doug is sharing a way that even I can do.   Very interesting,  first photo shows Doug critiquing our first paintings.  Some of the edges of gallery wrap canvases can be seen in some of the workshop students canvases in the first photo. Second photo shows  Doug helping a student choose the best of their 20 cards to put on the canvas.  These cards were made from a drawing & color on paper that was then    cut  into the 20 cards.  I will show my painting when I finish it.   We are using latex & paper collage on canvas this time.  Doug always seems comes up with something new  to learn every year.
