workshop updates


I have alot going on right now. It is good, but it will take me awhile to get up to speed on the blog. I have a show (Painting Simple Moments) at the Bottlebrush Gallery and Shop in Harmony, PA till mid January. http://www.bottlebrushgallery.com/ I am doing a few workshops in conjunction with the show and the first one in December was great. I had a nice group of kids and they went home with some nice pieces to use as gifts. The adult workshop is next week and is almost full.
I am also doing a floral watercolor workshop in the greenhouse at Quality Garden Center in February. They are getting the info on their website soon but in the mean time I thought I would mention it here. I took my class on a field trip to paint there last month and it was so nice. Pointsettas, and lush green all around.
The image of the Red Canoe is in the show at the Bottlebrush and was featured in the Butler Eagle newspaper today.
The image of the Cosmos will be featured in the web ad and newsletter for the workshop at Quality Gardens.

Love the canoe painting, Maria. Great colors and simplicity. Very nice. I hope to get to see your show while it's still up.

thank you! My husband and friend are the men in the canoe. When I saw them I knew it needed to be painted.
