| 'The View From Above' 8x10 plein air pastel ©Karen Margulis available $155 |
I had intended to post daily updates live from the workshop but I had forgotten by Google 2 step verification codes so I couldn't access my blog. Usually the codes are sent by text but my phone had to be kept on airplane mode while outside of the US. Lesson learned!

| 'Distant Paradise' 5x7 plein air $50 |
We painted on the beach of St. Maarten. We took a tour of St. Thomas and painted together at the highest point...Mountaintop. The view was spectacular. We also visited Antigua and the Dominican Republic. Everyone embraced the quick field study approach to plein air which was needed in the hot and humid and sometimes windy conditions. I was so excited to see the wonderful work of the artists in the group!

| 'Relax' 5x7 pastel $50 |
We also worked on painting sky studies and keeping a sketch travel journal. I especially enjoyed working on my sketchbook and I will share it in a future post.
It was a great week with great new friends. My husband joined me this time and he enjoyed being my sharp and all around helper. It was great to have him share this experience and we hope to do another art trip next year!

Wonderful paintings! Oh, I wish I could've been one of those seven artists. I'd love it. The whole experience. I'm not keen on vacations as such but a painting workshop in one of my all time favorite climates would be pure joy. I love how you captured the sun and shimmering warmth, the rich tropical waters, that sense of goofing off! It's glorious! Your snow scenes walking dogs may make me flinch and remember overworked Chicago misery but these paintings and this trip sums up everything I wished I was doing when I slogged to those snowbound bus stops. So neat that you can paint a variety of climates!
Beautiful paintings. I hope you will have another cruise workshop. I just found you, so maybe next year?
