Winter Workshop

The Key West Watercolor Society held its annual winter workshop at the Studios at Key West in January.  A great chance to get away from the cold and snow!  Richard Stevens, from Arkansas, led the program that he called "Fast and Loose".  For four days we tried to loosen up.  It was a great workshop and a lot of fun and hard work.   Two of the pictures I sketched out, and reworked at home, are in the 31st Skylands show this spring at the SCA&H gallery on Spring St in Newton.

The first is a local horse barn in Stillwater

 
A second painting is a street scene on Duval Street--St John's Episcopal Church.
 
 
During the cold days of February back in Sparta I used one of Richard's exercises--doing a triptych of one scene to present it from different angles.  I chose one of my favorite restaurants,  Il Porto on the boardwalk here in Lake Mohawk.
