Workshop Wolves!
The second class (of the Spokane workshops) was larger than the first and the people were wonderful and fun! We had eight who had the courage to spend another five days with me - practicing eyes and fur.
They all had a tough time doing fur with pastels - it’s not easy!
Anyway, one gal (I’m mentioning no names…LOL!) walked in about the third day of her second workshop, struggling with fur for eight days now, and her T-shirt read, “I NEED A MIRACLE!” It was hilarious! And, yes, she improved immensely over the course of the two workshops. She was a super good sport, too, ‘cuz I teased her unmercifully!
Here is a sampling from the canine sessions where we worked on a wolf as our project. I randomly chose these off my phone, so I don’t know who did what - but pretty nice work, don’t ya think?!

Lesley will be sending more workshop photos soon. In the meantime, here are several of her ‘big cat’ paintings. The one on the top left is “Splash”. The bottom right is “The Flirt”. We’ll have to bug her for the stories…
