Kitty Cloud's two-day work shop was held in June. She shared some of her special secrets with us.
If you were looking for how to work with color, you missed a great one at a gorgeous location.

Chris Reed is arranging a paint out for the end of July with Mary Ann Eldred in Salem. Her house overlooks Hawkin’s Pond. It sounds like a very picturesque location. Check for the details in the PSNH newsletter.
