Misty Morning

Misty Morning - 9 x 12   NFS

Last weekend I participated in a workshop given by Thomas Kegler, a wonderful artist who is also located in Western NY.  While he is an amazing oil painter and I am a pastellist, a lot of the knowledge he passed on during the workshop applies to both mediums.  I really enjoyed watching him paint.  He managed to paint 3 paintings that day and travel all over Emery Park (near East Aurora, NY) to personally talk to and offer suggestions to us students several times throughout the day.  He really has a great understanding of what it takes to create art.  His work is incredibly beautiful and I was very grateful for the chance to take the workshop.

I was also very happy with my own painting done that day, despite the horrible weather - it rained the whole time and got cold as the day progressed, or was it just because I was so wet myself?  Thank goodness I had my winter coat and waterproof shoes with me.
