There were times when a buzz of conversation would travel around the easels, even bursts of laughter, other times when a deep, concentrated silence settled over the entire studio for unmeasured minutes. After hours of looking, looking, looking at forms under colored lights we would come out into sunshine -- or rain -- for a break and the world was transformed. Though they were there to be eaten -- not painted -- the grapes, pears, and oranges on the food table would trigger inward questions of what hue? what value? what chroma? Which paints would you mix to capture that reality? In the circle of new friends sitting outdoors sharing dinner, there were sketchbooks on laps, quick glances up and down as fleeting portraits took shape. Beyond the artistic information being shared, there was simply the experience of being with fascinating people. The participants brought a tremendous range of experiences and insights. Jim and Garin were masterful in meeting each person at their own level and helping them take a step from there. There was great heart and warmth. Everyone, no matter what their experience or level of artistic attainment, was welcomed and treated equally. I'm deeply grateful and fortunate to have been a part of it.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-21427356385684673952011-07-05T06:20:00.848-04:002011-07-05T06:20:00.848-04:00Inspiring as always!!!

The books have been a tremendous resource, but I would love some hands on experience with the main man himself.<br /><br />Looks like it was such a great experience for all involved.
