A follwup up with Creating Fearlessly

As Hollyhock Studio is still in the "let's see if this is a good idea" stage I decided to look at the possibility of having a followup post workshop session.  I presented the idea to the group who attended Diane's Creating Fearlessly workshop and everyone thought it was a great idea.  So, today we met (minus a couple of our friends that were not able to be here) and we shared what we had been working on since we were together last in October.  It was very satisfying to see the work started in the workshop continuing to evolve.  There were even a few new pieces that were presented using the negative painting technique - which is NOT as easy as it looks.

Denise sent these two paintings to Diane for a critique.  Diane provided a thoughtful and extensive response that moved her work to a different level.  Denise was most happy with the suggestions and was very pleased with the outcome.  

We then spent the rest of our time together either creating new pieces or working on old ones.  During that time we drew inspiration from each other and coached one another too.  There was lively conversation about art and we even strayed away to other topics as well.  

At the end of the day we walked away with yet a bit more of what Diane had worked so well to instill in each of us.  I think she would be very happy as to the result of our time together.
