Adventure In Abstraction (2009)



I had an interesting adventure this summer. I went to Taos to take a seminar with Gwen Fox, an artist from Colorado Springs - and Taos. Gwen is a great artist who has done some very nice abstracts. She also is a fun art instructor with lots of ideas - and a passion for letting you make mistakes. I like that!
The workshop was really fun, with three other artists, all ladies, and I had a super time trying to paint in a "non literal" style. It was very hard, but I ended up with two pieces that I liked enough to show. Having to think in a completely different way will help my work, in any style.
