Lissa and I made a fun little painting using "prickly balls" and we all enjoyed a fun dinner (sharing lots-o-personal history!!!)....<br />Saturday, I went and painted with lovely Cynthia Johnson-Bianchetta at her studio in Carmel Valley...we enjoyed painting to the sounds and sights of the outdoors :)<br />Sunday I headed up to a 2-day workshop in progress at Wax Works West, the studio space that Wendy Aikin and Daniella Woolf have developed. Wendy has created a lovely workspace that is very easy to work in! I gave a quick demonstration on smooth surfaces.<br />I am so grateful for all of the lovely friends that I shared, played, stayed, and created with.
