I've been teaching, not blogging


A young Lady came from Texas to take one-on-one painting lessons



We worked hard, she was a very good student
 A Friend (?) told her that "she could not paint"
After only a day, she was painting her own designs
and coming up with all kinds of wonderful ideas.





While my student is on her way back home, her newly acquired skills will not shine until they come out of the kiln.
It is in the kiln that the magic happens.
I will show the results as soon as they have cooled






Yes, we worked hard...I wanted her to learn as much as possible in only 2 days
But there was always time to have a glass of wine at the end of the day.


I will still be teaching my regular 15th and 16th day of July workshop

  2. Hi Gina,
    Will I be sitting on that beautiful veranda as well in a couple of weeks?

    I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to learning from you :)

    Can you believe it? Just 2 more weeks!!!

    Your very anxious student-to-be,
    Barbara

  3. Thank you for calling me young! What a wonderful experience your class was (and what a wonderful time we had there). I am home, and starting to research things so I can get started! I am so grateful that you have shared your expertise through this class. If I am half as good as you are and half as prolific, I will be a happy camper.

  5. Dear Barbara, Yes, you will be sitting under the pergola, drinking a glass or two...but only after we paint up a storm. Looking forward to your visit. Won't be long.
