I am so excited that I can do your class in Redding. I drove to Lewiston last year and so enjoyed what you taught. Please help me to become a looser painter. I am so excited about the acrylics workshop this time!! So far, it is a great group for you.
I’m so happy that you will be coming to Redding to do a workshop for us. Last year in Lewiston was a real eye opener for me with your wonderful loose technique. Acrylics should be really exciting. You have a great group so far!!!!
Thanks Louise! I’m looking forward to seeing you again!
just wanted to know if you have a 2010 class schedule?
Thank you
Hi Rhonda,
