Hello everyone I had my meeting today with Uptrek and I am very excited to let you know some of the wonderful places I will be going to next year! Morrocco, France and Ireland!!!

I cannot wait to share more about it soon and my first retreat announcement will be Morocco in April so stay tuned for that. So many great opportunities to paint with me in exciting locations. There is nothing like painting in places outside of your studio and having some fun along the way.

I understand not everyone can afford or is able to travel so there is good news coming-- I am working on a Zoom class for March 14th - stay tuned for the announcement on this- I want to create something that will give us some light and levity from the world. So picture Spring landscape and florals- this will be about a 3 hr class- I hired a monitor for this so she can vet questions as we paint. I am hoping this will be successful and we can add some more fun classes in the future. Patreons will get a discount code as well for the zoom class!!

I still have some spots left for my October Vermont 2026 workshop I know its a bit early for some but I wanted you to get jump on booking- especially if you wanted to save some money on an Airbnb which is what I did. There are more affordable options about a mile away as well.

Also I wanted to get some feedback on those who would like come to a NYC workshop first weekend in December right after the tree lighting. Could you please comment below if you're interested.

I am very excited about all the opportunities to meet with you in person this year and next and on my Zoom class! So many more ways to connect on this fun journey of creativity.

I am so grateful to all my Patreons and your support - I will do my best to keep giving you more exciting ways to fulfill your creative journey whether that is online or in- person!

Sharon

Very interested in the NYC workshop!

Susan Turner

Wish I could travel to see you in person! I would be there in a nanosecond!!! As it is, I sat down with paper paint brushes at the ready to try your two vases with flowers on the table but could find it nowhere. I’m sure that was you, am I wrong? Do you have a search button that I’m not seeing? I sure wanted to try that painting on a greeting card!!! I apologize if it was a different artist but I could swear it was you!!

Kim Bensel

Susan, if you look under “collections” you’ll find that in the watercolor flowers collection.

Susan Turner

Thank you, Kim! I found the vases art and I will paint them today!! you are a big help!

Viv
