This has been an amazing month so far. There is so much to be excited about.
I have had many people ask if I ever teach painting. It is something I have thought about before and I have finally decided. My first workshop will start at the end of April and go through May, Tuesday evenings from 4 to 7 at Stone Manor Studios in Newboro. What an exciting place to be connected with. Stone Manor will also be my new location for the Rideau Lakes Studio Tour on Canada day weekend. With three of us there i think it will be a great way to showcase my work.
Here's the official announcement from Stone Manor Studios:
