    1. Hi, Karen -- Thanks! But, not all these pictures are from my studio. I am lucky, though, to be able to have my workshops in some beautiful places. How great that you paint with your granddaughters in your studio in Indiana! I do have a workshop every year in Ohio -- not far from you. This year it will be in August, and once again, the venue will be the Wolf Creek Winery, in Norton, outside of Akron. Last year, one of the participants came from Indiana. Just a thought! Let me know if you want more information on that one.
