Jackson's glass

Last weekend I enjoyed a workshop with Paul Jackson and this was one of the paintings I worked on in the workshop. The other two aren't completed yet and I hope to complete them. these were Paul's compositions with his beautiful glass pieces that he brought along for us to paint. I always enjoy Paul and it is a blessing to be able to study with a master of the craft.

busy, busy schedule

Just wanted to pop in here and let everyone know that I've been traveling a lot and not around my studio much to finish many paintings. I went to New Orleans, then Austin for a week, then Chicago for a week and am now in San Antonio. I head to Baton Rouge tomorrow before finally returning home to Tyler on Monday. Paul Jackson and his wife, Marla, will be heading to our house this week and staying with us while he teaches a workshop in Tyler. That is followed by a family reunion and then a camping trip. Whew!

I'm hoping, once this hectic schedule is over with, then I can settle back into a painting routine. I have several new paintings that are in the beginning stages of compositions - I just can't get the time to actually get any headway in painting them! I am looking forward to an empty calendar in August.
