Let me open this post with a shot of the stacks of books that we each worked in at Art Retreat #7.
Let me also say that my stack of books, on the bottom, will not arrive in Palm Springs naked next year. They will have colorful covers. Mark my words. This task has been placed on a "to do for next year" list in my everyday journal.
This layout features MA's work on the bottom row (adore her portraits of Pam and I), that's my leaves/flowers and bouquet of flowers in the middle, MA drew Pam directly to the right of that, top row is all Pam (the bird spread!!!!!) except my yellow coffee cup along with the vase of zinnia's done earlier this summer.
Cactus was something I have wanted to try ever since seeing sister's gouache renditions of them. There will be more of them done in the future. Working with gouache is something I find myself liking more and more and more. I might also engage in some teeth and nose practice sessions. Or not.
When you plan your very own Palm Springs art retreat, be sure you make it to Koffi's downtown location.
They have this wonderful outdoor courtyard area in the back.
Perfect for people watching and latte sipping. (I recommend the honey vanilla latte).
Also, the geraniums are va-va-vibrant! And the warm softness of the air feels wonderful on your skin. Especially when you have three whole days spooling out in front of you for creating with your pals.
My daughter says she feels her BP go down o the way to PS. ;o)
