I've spent the last week with a wonderful group of young students in the
studio. It's fun, it's satisfying. What unique ideas they come up with: young & old; naive and sophisticated. Growth is visible, tangible and exciting.
We worked with paint in a variety of ways, both watercolor and acrylic, and also worked with combed and stamped paste papers. My first time doing that, so it truly was a learning experience for me as well.
Now I am eager for an immersion into color.
Both on the canvas, and in the world. Spring is just barely beginning to awaken in Vermont. I know the azaleas and cherries are blooming a few hours south of here, but we still have snow in the shadows in our woodland home.
Spring travels north 16 miles a day.
