Midland, TX Workshop

I was invited to do a 3 day workshop in Midland,TX and we had 15 students. All of them were so eager to learn, and were so excited to do something different. They made it a very pleasant experience for me and all that were there. Everyone did something different even though some were doing the same thing! That is the fun part of torn paper paintings. There is no way they would all look the same. Two of the students weren't in the photo. I didn't realize that they were gone, until later on. Sorry Debbie and Susan. Wish you had been in the photo.

It is so much fun to meet and make new friends, and I want to say thank you to the Midland palette club for being such fun and receptive to new ideas.

On my way to Midland, I just had to stop and take this picture. The sun was awesome coming up! It is just so amazing how God does this each morning! Each day a little different in some way. Wow! What an artist HE is!

The Cupcake at the top, was my demo, and it sold. The lady who bought it named it "Buttons and Bows."

Torn Paper Collage

I'm getting ready for the collage workshop that will be here in Plains, July 22,23rd.  I have a couple of repeat students, so I wanted something different for them to do. This was a lot of fun to do. I have a couple spots left in the workshop, if you are interested in coming.

Workshop July 22-23

I have had a couple of questions about the workshop in July.  It is July 22-23 in Plains, TX, at the community center.  I will have a drawing for anybody that wants to start out and do what I am going to demo.  It will be 10-4.  There is a good Mexican food place, DQ, and burrito place.  Not sure if the Bar-B-Q will be open.
Or you can bring your lunch.  All you need are 3-4 magazines, canvas and glue.
I prefer the magazines with the slick pages.
The 2nd day, I want you to do your own design. There will be some from Hobbs, and Lubbock. If you are interested contact me for supply list, etc.There is a little Bed and Breakfast in Plains, and a motel in Denver City, if you don't want to drive.

I just got back from a collage workshop doing portraits with Derek Gores.  We were at Cypress Mills,TX.
It was too hot for life nearly! 

We got stranded in Memphis coming from Charlotte,NC due to the weather.  We made the best of it, and got a taxi and went downtown to Beale Street and I saw this woman. She carried herself with so much confidence.  I thought she was very pretty.  I didn't even do her justice, but I tried!
Instead of doing the normal skin color, I chose to do the black and white so it would stand out. I loved her big hair do! I hate to post her photo that I took on here, since I took her with out her knowledge.

The workshop was in Leada Woods Studio, and it was a great place! We had a good day,

and I feel like they all had a great start.  This is the start of Leada's Geisha Girl.
