We ended our Florida workshop last week with a plein air outing in a beautiful garden in Tamarac on Monday. What a treat to paint under swaying palm trees with cool breezes and sunshine. The owner of this back yard haven stopped by my flower painting class with his chocolate Lab and invited us to paint on Friday, he had heard we were scouting locations in his neighborhood and he was an artist, too!

We painted daisies and luscious bright pink and peach bougainvillea in my Florida class on Day 1, and spent part of that time trying to figure out what the plural of bougainvillea was/is/could be. When we weren't discussing grammar, we mixed warm and cool purples, and talked about the value of glazing over opaques, and the cool way you can make colorful jewel tones glow in your florals. On Day 2, we painted sunflowers. There's a sneak peek at Bobbi's gorgeous sunflower, a teaser for my post tomorrow so stay tuned to my art blog!

We painted bougainvillea and daisies in my Fort Lauderdale, Florida workshop this morning. What fun to paint with ladies from Utah, Canada, New Hampshire, Minnesota and across Florida today. We did not spot any gators, but we did see plenty of flowers blooming! It's always good to paint with palm trees swaying outside the classroom window, don't you agree? Get your beach shoes on, strum your ukelele, and stay tuned to my art bloggy, I'll be sharing even more pictures from sunny Florida with you this weekend!
