Today I was able to bring my students to MY teachers studio.
My generous teacher Sam Barber shared his waterfront property with the class, painted with them and handed out cold cans of beer for the critique after.
This day spent by the ocean in Hyannisport, a beautiful August day like today. Breezy, sunny, Kennedy’s everywhere.
He is not teaching anymore but was happy to see my students this once and let them paint on his gracious grounds. Outstanding beauty. Potted plants and statues silhouetting against the sailboats. I had all my students walk around and take photos before they take their supplies out of the car.
I only heard one “I didn’t bring my camera” and one “I don’t know how to use my camera”. If you forget your camera on a day like today it is a great loss.
There are many motifs, too many for just one afternoon. That is why the camera is so important. They were a little overwhelmed trying to decide where to set up and what to paint. But they all did a good job covering the canvas and getting a study down in the two hours there.

That is my last class this month. Starting a new “on location” eight week class- September 19, 2008, please call the Conservatory 508-362-2772 for inquiries. Thank you.
