Inspiration

I traveled to California this week with my artist friend Judith to take a class from Susan Cornelis. I wanted to learn how Susan was able to sketch people in live settings.  And I learned a lot.

​Driving from Bodega Bay to Stinson Beach was an adventure since the past 2 days, we had a torrential rain storm and many roads were flooded.  So we took the long way and found ourselves on a road without any cell connection (Siri!  Where are you???)

It all turned out OK since we found this wonderful cheese factory, had lunch and sat outside to de-compress. (Yes, the rain finally stopped). Here is a photo of the strange trees that surrounded the pond.  I am definitely painting those when I get back home.

I love learning from other artists and also going to places I've never been to.  This area of California is amazing and I can't wait to return.
