Workshop and hiatus from my blog

This is my second post tonight so be sure and go to the main page and scroll down to see about my exhibit in San Marcos, Texas.

I am attending a plein air workshop with Bob Rohm at the Bunkhouse near Marble Falls, Texas, from October 29 to November 2. I leave tomorrow. Is that exciting? I have not been to this type of workshop in more than 10 years. Bob Rohm is a wonderful teacher and we students should learn a great deal. Regina Burchett is going as well so I will have a wonderful art buddy to work with and remember with. We get together and paint as often as we can. We will be very busy with lectures and paint outings every day and discussions in the evenings.

This is out in the country so there will be no e-mail and posting on the blog. That part is a little hard to imagine. I'm not usually away from the internet for more than a day. Wow.

Even though we will be very busy, the country there is so beautiful that it will be relaxing to be away from our usual routine.

Please excuse my absence and I will keep a daily journal and report back at the end of the workshop. I get back on Friday and then on Saturday, daughter, Jennie, and I will be going to the Pow Wow in Austin. The family is getting together here on Sunday, so it will be a complete week before I post again. Please come back ... and check out my links and blogger friends while I am away. I will miss you all.
