After a Long Summer

Can't believe that so many months have gone by without blogging. It's been a long and very HOT summer. Workshop vacation for 4 months and creativity has been low except for my daily doodles that I have posted on Instagram. I did do some PYHAS work and a few mono-prints which are also on my Instagram feed.

September and workshop has started on a low key. Not a full class because of the holidays and travel plans of some artists, but it was so good to get back. We will only have about 5 sessions in the first 2 months, the rest hopefully will be joining in November.

Reuven gave those that wanted a Cezanne project. To paint as "if" we were Cezanne. I love Cezanne so jumped in and chose one of his paintings of bathers,

Cezanne The Bathers
