Who Do You Recommend For Workshops?

Here is the latest Painting off my easel.  I am still wanting to go out painting plein air, but it is raining again today.  A beautiful slow steady rain.  Makes me want to curl up on the porch with a good book.  I was telling my friend yesterday that I might want to explore plein air painting as collecting all of the items I need for still life set-ups can get costly and then there is the problem of where to store all of them.  Oh, the hazards of doing what you love!!  I don't think I will ever give up still life painting.

On my easel

Here is a camera shot of the painting while it is still on the easel.  The clips are there to hold the painting up while I'm working on it so it doesn't get lost in the holder at the bottom.  I learned this trick from Abbey Ryan last year.  The fabric is there to keep the light clipped to the easel from shining over on to the set-up which has it's own lighting.

Here is how it might look framed.

And finally,  I will probably only attend one art workshop this year.  Who would you recommend that you have studied with?  I know there are probably more than one, but if you had to pick one;  Who would it be and why?

Thanks!
