The Group Photo
It really was a special week - intense, informative, exhausting - and a lot of fun. I can't say enough about Bill's careful planning of this workshop and the enormous energy he put into making sure we learned all we could absorb from him. My mind is still reeling tonight and I sure don't have the jet lag excuse, since the art school is right down the road from me.
What a joy to meet so many nice people and good artists! (That's Gary's head just to the left of Bill's in the above photo. Nice to see you back on the Forum, Gary.) There were wonderful musical moments, too - I'm thinking of Bill's banjo (my daughter is still talking about that) and Patrick's Scottish ballads on the grand piano during breaks. Special thanks go out to Sandra Whitaker for her kindness, grace and emotional support of stressed-out students (i.e., all of us).
Thanks again to: Carl Toboika for the Trekell brush (I love it and have just ordered a ton of them), all those travellers who left me their Turpenoid, and those of you who left extra beverages in my fridge.
All of my group photo shots were blurry except for this one, so if anyone has a better shot, please post yours and I'll delete this one. (Our tired models are sitting in the middle of the podium.)
Bill, you're a born teacher, great artist and true gentleman. Thank you so much for an outstanding workshop.
Best regards,
Linda
