Working from a limited palette, students will learn a clear framework for color mixing and a direct approach to capturing light and form. We will deeply explore how value, temperature, and saturation interact

Coastal Botanical Gardens in Booth Bay. Great day. Great painting opportunities. And LESS wind than the previous day. Ending our last evening in a local restaurant.

Another challenge - wind. Lots of wind. But plein air painting still goes on. Round Pond harbor and the Olson house.

What do you do when it rains all day? A water color class, painting under tents, finishing paintings from the day before, visiting the Farnsworth Museum and being inspired and ending the day with an art trivia game.

Happy Holidays!! -

Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you; And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your heart's possessing Returns to make you glad.

Wishing you all the merriest of Christmases and Best Wishes for 2026!!
