Our time painting together was engaging and inspiring for me.The beauty, mystery and companionship of a like minded soul engaged in the same quest freed me from any doubt as to why I paint. Your help especially with color was liberating for me and -needless to say -your creative drive is always wonderful to be near. Sharing ideas, painting in such special places with a dedicated and accomplished artist who is a close friend is rejuvenating and brings back a sense of connectedness that is so necessary for me.
