Morning Glories and Hydrangeas are drying on the easel in Flower Mound Studio, as I pack up supplies, flower pots, paints and canvases for my workshop at the Dallas Arboretum Saturday. This is my first workshop at the Arboretum, and I'm excited to be spending the day painting in one of the most beautiful gardens in Texas.

Tomorrow I'll start scoping out the flower selections in all the local stores. Cross your fingers and toes that I'll find some great flower models. They need to be perky and alert for their big moment in the spotlight! One of my friends who teaches said once that male teachers at the front of a class are always wondering how their painting looks to the students. The female teachers are always more concerned about whether their jeans make them look fat, and whether they're having a good hair day. I'm a bit nervous - will I drop my turp can, will I forget to bring Ultramarine blue.... but I'm also really excited - after all, the absolute best part of the day is we will all be painting flowers! What on earth could be more fun....!
