Escape to Maine again...

I'm running off to a refresher workshop in Maine with my watercolor teacher, David Dewey. Natch Yellow Bird gets to come along in case there are any photo opps. Here's re-cap of an older post I'm not really ready for Fall or back-to-school school openings. So I'm escaping off someplace I should have gone this summer.Up to David Dewey's watercolor workshop in Maine.

I've been 4 or 5 times. I thought at first, that since I'm focused on still life I didn't need to look or think about landscapes again.
Too late I woke up and realized of course, a still life IS a landscape! A bunch of shapes sitting on a flatish surface = a landscape.Most workshop mornings begin with THE DEMO by the instructor. You crowd round to see the magic performed in the relentlessly hot sun.Then you go off for the day and try to perform a little magic yourself... The bay out my motel window in '01. Thomaston's boat yard in '05At the end of each workshop day comes the group crit.
You learn heaps here. I could use an end o' day group crit in my New York studio.
The real end of a Maine day ends with a Lobster.
If you haven't had a lobster roll for lunch that is...

Or for lobster aficionados, every meal should be Maine lobster...

I'm not taking my laptop so I hope I can post updates on all my lobster dinners...cya

BONNE JOURNEE
