August 9th on Cloudland Road

          Yesterday was our Vermont Watercolor Society local workshop from 10 to 3:30 at the Thompson Senior Center here in Woodstock.  It was supposed to be a plein air event but the weather wouldn't cooperate and we worked inside from photographs we brought while it poured out side.

          Shari Blaukopf came down from Montreal to do the workshop and she was terrific!  Not only did she do a great demo, she also had so many suggestions on books and organizations like "Urban Sketcher".   I'm planning on ordering her book, "Working with Color" 

          This is the painting I did at the workshop.  It's from photo I took back in August up at Cloudland Farm.  I continue to be entranced by clouds and sky...

        I have several more sky photos from our visits to Seabrook Island and plan to work on them in the days ahead along with some local shots.
