Haven’t posted in a while – summer got pretty busy. Mid August I went to VT to study with Susan Abbott<\/a>. Her “Vermont Landscape Painting Retreat” was pretty much Art Boot Camp! Learned a lot, met wonderful people and was wrung out! Each day consisted of lectures and demos, slides and exercises, and lots of plein air painting. Oh, and I shouldn’t forget to mention the wonderful lunches every day!<\/p>\n

Home base was Susan’s airy studio which she had turned into a class room. We started at 9:00 but could get there early to set up – I shot the photo below before students arrived as once we started there was no time… My work space was on the left with the red cup… Susan has a huge library of art books that were available to us. Here are shelves with her sketchbooks. I do love to see other artist’s sketchbooks. <\/p>\n

\nSo much to take in!<\/p>\n

We visited gardens and farms, beautiful VT homes, meadows and mountains—each day a visual treat laid out for us to paint.
\nOne of our plein air sites was the home, studio and pond of artist, Adelaide Tyrol.<\/a> I worked with the group of trees at one end of the pond. We spent two sessions here.<\/p>\n

Bob came with me and after dropping me off in the mornings he went off and did train things<\/a>… He’d pick me up at 5:00, we’d grab a bite to eat and I’d be back at 8:30. After a week of this we headed to Maine for a few days to unwind. That will be my next post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
