for the Three Muses
Almost two years ago to the very day, my husband took me to an opening at the Bennett Street Gallery in Atlanta, and, if you've read my old posts, you know that this is what motivated me to resume my own study of art. Well, the artist was Kenson Thompson, whose work you can see here, and this weekend I am going to a two day mixed media workshop that she's teaching at the Art School of Sandy Springs. I've been working so hard on color and composition, and I think she will have so much to teach me about technique. I am so excited that I will be in the same room while she's weilding a paintbrush that I'm practically beside myself. I will be sure to take lots of photographs and share them with you, if that's okay with her, and, in the meantime, expect progress.
Love,
Kathy
P.S. Van Gogh's called to tell me that I sold "Lotus." Yippee!!!

Love this piece, Kathy, and congrats on selling your art work!! Enjoy your workshop--it would be wonderful to go to an actual live one!
Congratulations on your sale and have fun at your mixed media workshop. I am going to go look up this artist-great work!
Great color combo. A mysterious man he is. Nice piece.
This piece is so vibrant and mesmerizing. Fabulous contrasting colors to the eye and senses! Congrats on your sale and your workshop sounds great - have fun!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Fantastic news. This one reminds me of "The Birth of Venus" for some obscure reason but, with the opening flower and the nest full of eggs it seems your inspiration is of a continuing rebirth as an artist which began two years ago. It is superb.
Spectacular piece, Kathy, love your use of vibrant colours! Good luck with the art classes!

Congrats on the sale, and on the upcoming workshop. In the meantime, I love your guy here in the midst of your usual bold colors. Call yourself Alberta, Kathy or Gertrude, I'm still a groupie!

What a treat to take lessons from someone who's been so pivotal in your art life. The Universe is generous and abundant! Love & Hugs, Terri xoxo
Beautiful piece, Kathy! ANd thank you so much for sharing the work of Kenson Thompson. I looked through her site - very inspiring. Taking workshops, especially if you teach, is so refreshing! I'm taking a few this year, including one with Karen Rosasco (take a look at her site)on experimental watermedia. Can't wait to see your posts and photos on the workshop this weekend. Enjoy!!!!

Hey Girl! Loved meeting you this weekend :) Awesome picture :)
Hello Kathy, Thanks for visiting my place. We're not organized into a group. Just had one little lunch with folks who'd already connected in some way. It was very nice to meet in person and fun to run into each other at Atlanta events.
I don't know where this is going. Personally, I want Atlanta bloggers to rule the earth.
Kathy, this is inspired. I love it.
Kathy....thank you again for your ever so kind and complimentary words about my art.....looks like your doing Great things...i love that for you!kenson
