Passing it Forward

I have begun to teach again for several reasons. #1: I enjoy sharing my knowledge and love of painting with others. I believe that I have been given this gift of art and I should pass on what I have learned in the hopes that others will do the same...#2: Art classes are hard to find in this age of immediate gratification. I offer them in one of the most beautiful places on earth and so my students get to be out on nature away from life stresses. I see them unwind as the class unfolds.
In my last blog I commented on the lack of art exposure and the growth of the uneducated public in our culture. This is the 3rd reason I am teaching.
This pic was from a mini-workshop I taught to a local womens' watercolor group. We had a wonderful morning of learning and sharing. More info about my classes can be found on my website.
So...if you are an artist...pass it forward...if you are wanting to learn about art...look into taking a class or a workshop. It's never too late to begin.
