Preparing to Teach

| "Cherries and Pewter" |
5 X 7
I have finally found some time to paint!! Summer has been busy and I was also lacking in inspiration. It feels good to be back in the studio. The reference photo for this painting was graciously given by Lillian Bell. I have painted from her beautiful photography before.
I am in the process of finalizing dates to teach a new student. She saw me at my last fine art fair and later e-mailed me to see if I would be interested in teaching. So I have been busy writing up an outline for the class and getting ready. I have taught before, but I am realizing that every time I teach I am in a new place with my own art and have to make adjustments to compensate for the new information I have taken in.
Hope you are all having a fantastic summer!
This is a beautiful painting, Karla! The cherries make me want to reach out and pick one up! Your student is very fortunate to have found such a fun-loving and creative teacher. Best wishes to you both!
