Clap your hands if you believe in Tinkerbell!
It was so much fun having an Art2Art workshop in Windermere Florida which is really close to Orlando. So close to all the theme parks, so many families, so many little kids, so many great restaurants. This is a shot of what I stepped on - barefooted (will I ever learn?) on the way to the pool to sit in the sun for some fun with my Auntie Glo and my Cousin Deb. As you can plainly see my cousin believes in Tinkerbell and vows to keep her safe!

This workroom was filled with anything and everything one would need to create a masterpiece. If you wanted to sculpt, paint in oil, acrylic or watercolor, this place has it all. Thanks Linda for hosting such a fun workshop. It was so great to see your set-up as we have a new place to set up our working space and classroom space. I am so inspired.

Of course I could hardly wait to get back here and get some pictures of the Anoles that run amuck here. I couldn't get pictures last year because the humidity was so high, I couldn't wipe the lens dry and focus in enough time to get a shot of these shy & quick little creatures. Last year they had vines that surrounded the pool area. The vines were a deep purple color but the tender new shoots were a vivid apple green. I would find a vivid green anole on a purple leaf or a big purple anole on a vivid green shoot, but couldn't get the shot quick enough. It's not as hot or humid as last year (whew) so I was able to get some shots. Those vines are gone this year, and there aren't as many anoles, there is a horrible drought here in Texas, that may explain the smaller number of anoles.

Here is a shot that I snuck inside the Artists Expo! It's Christmas in July! This is a shot for my cousin Andi, as there are all kinds of kits, wooden cutouts and what-nots as far as the eye can see! She would be loving the comraderie and the tools! I'm sending some info her way, as some of these talented folks are coming her way in September!

This go 'round was such fun, I had a great time with the ladies painting the Bumble Bee and the Red Dahlia. It was a faced paced 6 hour class, that included Pizza and Wine (thanks to the bright idea of Joyce Faulknor)!
Thanks to my returning students for getting me to go ahead and post on the blog! It's almost been a year since the last post!
Thanks for stopping by....
