I am packing up to leave tomorrow to head out to the final Artfest!
Getting my stuff ready to teach two watercolor classes there.
It will be a bittersweet trip. I love Artfest and it has opened many a door for me over the years but sadly this is the last one - the last hoorah!
So I wing my way there tomorrow accompanied by friends for one last tour!
I will be teaching these lovelies this year - click and see more after midnight tonight ;)

I thought you might want to see some examples of last year's Artfest classes and the student's results ...
These pieces are from the Story Painting With Punch Class (I will be teaching this class at Art and Soul again this October in Portland)
also two expressionistic painting classes
This coming Artfest 2011 I will be teaching
both based on my painting style of combining black and white photography with paint.
I will also be teaching this
Under the Influence at the end of October at Journalfest
Hope to see you there ;)
I am teaching two (very cool in my humble opinion) classes!
Check it Out!
This is my partner in crime - Judi - on our first day at Artfest in our FABULOUS artfest aprons created by the amazingly talented Chris who also happens to be Judi's sister. This darling girl made a special one for each housemate.
Day 1
I taught Story Painting with Punch to an amazing group of artists and the results were incredible. The whole class was so motivated and eager to learn. I am so proud of each and every one of them.
Here's a look at some of their works of art ~
This is Port Townsend which is the home of Artfest - It is a beautiful town at the end of the Olympic Peninsula.

Our first morning going to breakfast with my gals
These three were there to greet us when we got to our house at the fort
and here are my gals - Judi, Ginny and Chris - they made my trip magical and it wouldn't be the same without them.
I have many more pics to come so stay tuned ....
on my brushes that is ...
I am picky about my brushes and so I marked them all with a little round of plaid washi tape.
And speaking of brushes my favorites are filberts and egberts.
which describes the shape of the bristles.
My very favorite are short filberts (bristles that is ) not to be confused with SHORT HANDLED filberts - yes, yes, all so very technical - not really ;)
I can't stop - I am addicted to making and adding to these fabric journals - well I will have to stop soon as I will be leaving Tuesday morning ( yes I know you have heard it before but I am excited - really)
Anyway here they are and whatever doesn't sell at Artfest will go in my Etsy shop when I return.
I have been busy busy busy getting things ready for Artfest!
Leaving on a jet plane next Tuesday morning ~ its right around the bend and I am starting to get excited!! I am so looking forward to teaching my new classes and meeting new friends and of course seeing those friends so dear that I haven't seen in quite some time.
