The workshop idea is taking off, and at this point, I have two more coming up--October 19-21 at Peninsula School of the Arts in lovely Door County, WI, and one that is as yet unscheduled at the Dick Blick location in Wheaton, IL (near Chicago.) That one will probably be in July or August.
(Someone called the Dick Blick store to ask that I be contacted for this--if that was one of my blog readers, thanks! and could you please email me at crowellart@yahoo.com so that I am sure to schedule it when you can attend?)
The painting above is Sahara Wind, 24"x26." Like a lot of my recent work, it comes out of my residency in Catalonia last fall. I was rather charmed by the fact that at times, a pinkish dust is deposited in the area where I was staying--carried on winds from the Sahara. I was reminded of that as I developed the pink/orange colors in this painting.
Love this painting, Rebecca. Of course I love the story behind it, the Sahara being one of my favorite places on Earth. I also like the slight horizontal format, new for you, I believe. Very strong piece!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Rebecca. I know that these workshops will be inspiring for your students...and just possibly for you as well.
