Art Unraveled

Got home last night from Art Unraveled. Whew, what a whirl that was. Yet so.much.fun. The students were amazing and fun and talented. I get to know more people each year and it has become nearly a homecoming as I recognize so many people. It is wonderful to be able to catch up with friends at the breakfast buffet and at happy hour. Such a relaxed environment.
This year I taught three classes and the photo above shows some of the work from two of them. I wish I had taken more photos, I know I always say that but it's true. I get caught up in the moment and totally forget to pull out my camera, or, in this case, my phone.
I found it especially rewarding to watch my students build the layers in their pieces. Yes there were some complications, you know how pieces can easily get out of hand? Well, we managed to get everyone back on track and I have to say I was quite smitten with all of them.
Now that I am back home it is time to prepare submissions for next year, oy, never a dull moment, eh? I have lots of ideas, too many really, now I'm just trying to decide which ones are best. While simultaneously preparing for Create in Chicago and painting like a mad woman for the St. Louis Art Fair.

Here are some more pictures from my journey. Check out that food! Geez, I loved the Prosciutto Salad and think I need to steal that presentation idea. Wowza. And those veggies were at True Food, one of my fave places. So fresh it reminded me of France.
