Another one of my Dreama workshop beauties!  If you're interested in purchasing you can click on my Etsy link:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/130771760/8-x-8-fine-art-original-oil-painting

Dreama has the most interesting exercise the last day of her workshop.  She has each artist set up their easel & paints and then we each start a painting and every 5-10 minutes we rotate around the room to someone else's painting to work for another 5-10 minutes.  It's so much fun and so freeing!  So this painting actually has about 8 artists talent on it.  It's a conglomeration of talent.  It really let me focus on just putting a few pointed strokes in places as I didn't have much time at any easel.  I think I may use this technique in my own studio by setting up multiple easels with multiple canvas's and rotate around so that I have a fresh eye each time I come back to a painting.  

If you're in town this weekend you should stop in the Underground Gallery as my friend Jane Coonce is having a reception for her solo show.  Reception is 5-8pm!  

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mother's out there.
