Eat Sleep Paint ~ Another enriching experience at a Skip Lawrence workshop

This was my third time to attend the March painting workshop with Skip Lawrence at Bon Secours Retreat Center near Baltimore. Skip is generous, funny, warm and just an extremely wonderful teacher full of useful knowledge and the gift of getting ideas across. The other participants are wonderful, too and it's great to see them and paint with these good people every year. The surroundings are beautiful and inspiring and all we do is eat the yummy meals prepared for us, sleep when we must and paint our hearts out. My time also involved some driving because I commute, except for the two nights I was happily snowed in and had to stay there.
