Sometimes I think of that when I work because of my constant desire to keep my hands and my eyes and my heart in my pictures.
I'm excited about the fact that the sister worlds of photography and painting & drawing will meet and play together, this fall in
Spain!
I recently went to Vancouver to visit with
the Flavour of Spain workshop hosts, Mike and Hilary Powell, and Gail Short,
who will be teaching alongside me the same week. Gail and I were so happy to finally meet one
another, and talk about our upcoming workshops.
We have decided to act on inspiration and create a
format in which our participants (and the two of us) will be able to enjoy the
best of each of our worlds- photography and painting & sketching!
We plan to organize our days so that everyone will be
have opportunities to learn from both Gail and me, and/or focus on their
preferred medium intensively.
Gail will be teaching small format pen,
pencil and paint techniques for participants with any and all levels of experience. She is a
lively and lovely, fun person. I am so looking forward to working with her. I totally marveled at Gail's tiny pouch of materials, in which she keeps all the tools she
needs to create her amazing beautiful sketchbook journals, like the one she
shared with us over lunch. I'm inspired!

I've learned that they really know Spain! And I can tell that they truly love art, people, and travel, going about all of it with great humour, constant enthusiasm, and delicious food and wine.
