"Storm Rollin' In" by Texas Artist Rebecca Zook

Rain in Texas is a mixed blessing. In this drought with lakes drying up, we need it desperately. But in Spring our downpours may come with hail or tornados. My hometown has been the victim of such a tornado, so a scene like this, when the sky darkens and the clouds roll in, brings a range of emotions for me: awe, apprehension or relief.

Day 11 of 30 day challenge- The Porch by Suzy 'Pal' Powell

This view was taken years ago in Morton, TX.  It was summer time

and the sun was so bright and it just made this an interesting little

painting.  This was done with Acrylics which is also foreign to me.

I enjoyed how quick it dried and the colors didn't mix up so much.

 It was a banner day in the workshop classroom, with paint flying hither and yon, flashbulbs popping, and lots of giggling and visiting. I always love to step back and enjoy the chatter and excitement of a room full of ladies exchanging emails, places they love to visit, pictures of their kids and furbabies, and generally having a ball. Workshops, to me, are a gift you give yourself for all that you give to others. They are a place of peace, a place of healing, a place to rejuvenate and recharge and enjoy color and flowers. 

We give so much of ourselves to our families, friends and jobs, it is good to once in a while give something back to ourselves. My workshops start each day with a large demonstration painting. In the afternoons, we work together step by step on a favorite flower of choice. My students are beginner to advanced, working in oils, water based oils and acrylics, and benefit from a technique that encourages a loose, fresh approach to making bright colors sing. Thank you to the marvelous group of talented artists who spent these past three days with me. I am so grateful to my students for all they share with me, and all they teach me. Not to mention helping me eat all those donuts!
