I’m back in the studio again after teaching a watercolor workshop for Kanuga Watermedia Workshops in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Happy first day of spring! Today I’m flying to Asheville, NC to teach my first 2009 workshop for Kanuga Watercolor Workshops. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and spending the week immersed in art!
