From Maaavin's Atlanta Class-Mariah

[Lynn T. McCallum]

Well just shut my mouth. Bless your little ol' pea pickin' hearts!

Pat, Beth, Holly and John thanks for the warm reception on the four workshop paintings!

Holly I like to watch more than post!

I have a fun time painting, and have a great time helping Marvin out with these things when and where I can.

Val! Where do you get light humor? Marvin got us all rolling more than a few times there. We did tend to hand the 'humor ball' back and forth a lot but I really think that helped us to all remember a lot of what was being said and taught!

I always look forward to painting with new people too, it seems no matter what the group is like there is good camaraderie and a lot of us continue to stay in touch.

Ya'll take care now, ya hear!

Without Lynn's persistence I would not be teaching in Atlanta. She attended my demo at the Portrait Society of Atlanta and kept after me to come down and lead a workshop until I eventually relented.

The experience has been nothing short of amazing. The artists I've had the pleasure of working with in Atlanta are all terrific and talented people. I'm truly inspired by the fantastic progress people make in such a short amount of time.

Best of all, I've gotten to know Lynn and cultivate a great friendship with her. Lynn is a blast. Something within Lynn's heart resonated when she saw that first demo and no one is more thrilled that me regarding her fantastic progress. Go girl!
