Painters Journal
This painting was done in the garden at the Folk School over a period of three days. It is my favorite view of the school. I This place is so special, I confess I have never had an experience like it.
Painters Tip
When you take a painting workshop go in with an open heart and mind. Expect to try new things and new ways to study. If you are an experienced painter, leave your experience at home and be willing to try someone else's techniques. Waste no time trying to show the instructor how much you know. Let go of your way and try theirs. What can it hurt? You just might learn a better way.
If you are a beginner, soak it in like a sponge and waste no time beating yourself up for not doing good work. The biggest deterrant to success for you is frustration. Let go of your fragile ego and enjoy every process. Success must come later when you have gathered more experience.

This one is super, I thought it was an artist and not a scarecrow at first.
Thank you Lori, the scarecrows at the folk school are pretty sophisticated. This fellow had a lovely blue vest on.
Love,
Linda
