Here are three photos of my demos from my recent Zooming in on Flowers class taught through Cable Natural History Museum, partnering with Mollie (who gave a scientific presentation about flowers). Mollie took close-up photos of real flowers I brought to her. She used a digital microscope. Our class participants used some of the photos for inspirations. Please click on each photo for a brief description of the media we used. They include drawing pen, pencil, drawing pen with watercolor pencils, and drawing pen with watercolor wash. All the participants did a wonderful job with their own drawings.

Yesterday when I was in Hayward (WI) all day doing errands I stopped at the Sherman & Ruth Weiss Community Library to see the art exhibit of Ruth Pauly's work. It's charming! She is multi-talented. Ruth is on the board of directors for Cable Hayward Area Arts Council and did a fantastic job of promoting the artists in the CHARAC Art Crawl by making short videos after visiting studios prior to that event and posting them on the CHARAC website. During the art crawl she visited every single studio. She's so dedicated and caring. Her exhibit at the library will be up through September. I like the way she hung her work together that she created in different series. There is a glare in some of my photos.

I had a super fun time this past Wednesday, teaming up with Mollie from Cable Natural History Museum to teach this class at the Wake Robin Pavilion in Cable, WI. Mollie, the naturalist, gave an informative presentation about flowers, to give us a scientific background before creating drawings of close-ups of flowers using various drawing materials. Please click on each photo for a brief description and to see everyone in class along with a group photo of the participants. Thank you to everyone who participated!

My next project is to prepare for my August 26th five hour "Zooming in on Flowers" drawing class through Cable Natural History Museum. The class is full with 12 people and several on the wait list. The subject must be popular! I enjoyed meeting with museum naturalist Mollie Kreb-Mertig recently. She placed each flower I brought under a digital microscope to take a close look. She printed many images that we will use for inspiration in class after she does a short presentation about flowers. This flower is a geranium and the close-up image is on the computer screen. It's enjoyable to combine science and art in a class. IF you have registered for this class, you will receive an email from me soon with details about the class. Thank you!

I always enjoy receiving photos from collectors/friends that show where they hang my art work they purchased. This shows an oil painting on board of a wildflower field I created depicting a scene near our home, hanging above another piece. Thank you, Josie, for sharing it with me.

Here are two photos taken during the final Day 3 of the CHARAC art crawl—Sunday, August 9th. I had 35 visitors at my studio during the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. shorter day. Special thanks to EVERYONE who visited. I'm thankful for every sale. And thank you to my greeter, Kelly Randolph, who was a great help in making the yard look nice and watering plants during our long drought. Our last visitor on Sunday was our neighbor Jake and his young pre-school age daughter. I pulled out paper and markers for her and she created a drawing of Kelly (on the right) and me on the left. And she requested I hang it in my studio, so I taped it to my inside studio door. A budding artist!

Thank you to everyone who visited my studio today, Day 2 of the CHARAC art crawl. We had around 110 visitors, more than yesterday.
