Workshop students 

This was the first year teaching an Indroduction to Plein Air workshop prior to the Whidbey Island Plein Air competition hosted by the Pacific Northwest Art School in Coopeville.  Four students signed up which was not as big a class as I was hoping but I was really glad we went ahead with the workshop!  The students were excited about plein air and their enthusiasm encouraged me.  the smaller class size gave me plenty of time to spend with each student, get to know them and encourage their progress with the goal that they continue on painting outside.

This event is a major fundraiser for the Pacific Northwest Art School which promotes the arts in Coopeville with classes, events and scholarships for students. 

This year a group of us artists shared a big house and had a lot of fun painting and hanging out on beautiful Whidbey Island together!  Along with me and my son Maury, were David Marty, Brooke Borcherding, Janice Kirsten, Emiliya Lane and Bronwyn Groman.
