My weekend as a student.

I spent the weekend painting with Rob O'Dell at one of his watercolor painting workshops. It is truly a wonderful experience to paint with and to get tips from a master painter. While I was there I was so critical of what I was doing, but now, 24 hours later I can see that I did great work-of a caliber I would not have attempted prior to the workshop. He encouraged and pushed me. He stretched me and taught me. I have been doing art all my life. I have a formal art education. I define myself as a painter yet this was a great learning experience. You are never too old nor is it ever too late to learn.

This is just the beginning

Well, I never thought I would do this, but I'm gonna try blogging for a while. The studio is such a dynamic beast and it's always changing, so I thought this would be the best way to keep up with eveything folks want to know about My Artz Desire art studio. Once I locate a plug-in for my calendar and for event registering, this will be the hot spot for everything you want to know about the classes and the studio.
Wish me luck...especially with my 'u' key which doesn't always want to give up a U.
