I accidentally ordered some 4 x 6" raymar linen panels. Kind of a pleasant surprise because I have enjoyed painting them. This floater is painted on one of them. Quick gratification.I am headed to a three day workshop in Atlanta with Peggi Kroll Roberts. I have admired her work and heard that she conducts a great workshop. This workshop is called "the figure in the field". Looking forward to challenging myself with some plein air painting. I am also looking forward to staying with my artist friend, Beth, that I met at an earlier Atlanta workshop. I am so thankful for the friends I have met through workshops, shows, and blogs. Such a fun and kind community.sold
