I recently returned from a painting workshop by daily painter Carol Marine.  She creates fabulous paintings of everyday still life objects with a wonderful painterly stroke.  I learned much and received a wealth of instruction and feedback on painting and art blogs, and I would highly recommend it to anyone reading!  Check out Carol’s wildly popular blog here in this post or in the left hand column under Other Art Blogs I Read.

Not only did I get a wonderful workshop with other fun and friendly artists, but I got to visit Texas, too!  The three day workshop was held at  Andreeva Portrait Academy which offers art instruction in wonderful facilities in the small community of Salado, Texas.

Here’s one I did at the workshop; I had a time constraint on this one getting most of it done before class one morning.
