FAB WORKSHOP AT EVERGREEN LAVENDER FARM

Hey Friends,  Yesterday, June 24th, we the DLP's held our 3rd workshop at the infamous and beautiful Evergreen Lavender Farm in Appomattox, Va.

Hosted by Bonnie Swanson, the hard-working woman that keeps this farm so beautiful.

Above Mary Anne is squeezing some yellow-ochre onto a palette for one of the students.

They all seemed to have a good time expressing their version of the farm.

And each had a totally different version, a totally different feel!  It was great fun and all had a good time.  Hope they will give it a another try.  The next version could be even more awesome.

PREPPING FOR THE EVERGREEN WORKSHOP

Hey Friends,  Man, I'm happy this video turned out but it's only 44 seconds but would you believe it took 25 minutes to load on this blog?  What's the deal?  Anyone know???

Here is all the canvas panels laid out to dry.  It is a rust/brick color.  You may think that is ODD but wait until you see the finish!

This is Linda.  Don't you love my ariel views?  My little GO-Pro on the little helicopter is a real trick to use.....Kidding.

Four of us met this morning after the thunderstorm and we all did the little painting that we plan to teach in the workshop and HOW different they were.  'Twas a bunch of fun.

I'm positive the participants will have as much fun as we did.!

You can still sign up  HERE..
