We've just finished our 2007 seminar with Ginger Edwards and she was wonderful as usual. We learned so much. I think I understand her rose at last. Now all I need to do is paint 500 of them and I should have it . I love my poppy that I painted on my sewing cabinet, too. I'll have a photo of it for you a little later. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves a lot, although we worked very hard on Sat learning Ginger's rose techniques. But, everyone was painting beautiful roses by Sunday. I wish you could have seen them all. We had a great group of painters this year again. It was so nice to meet all the out of town painters. Going out to dinner together is a great way to get to know them as well as Ginger. Decorative artists are interesting people.
We have our plans for our 2008 seminar with Ginger already! We saw some wonderful paintings that inspired Ginger and us. We'll paint a wonderful scene on canvas with Plaid's new textured paint for an oil painted effect. And, probably paint beautiful zinnias on a functional piece. We'll also have a "Girl's night out" the evening before the seminar, with fun "make it and take it" projects . Ginger has learned to needle felt and make these fun pins. And she was talking about a cleaver painted domino necklace, too. Fun, food, fellowship, and painting make a great way to spend an evening. Mark your calendars for Feb 29, March 1 & 2, 2008!
