I took another workshop a couple of weeks ago with Vie Dunn-Harr, a San Antonio artist who does amazing floral abstracts and teaches her unusual techniques in a 3-day workshop at Dena Wenmohs Bunkhouse. The last time I took this workshop, I painted a floral (A Sensitive Bromeliad) and a parrot painting (Jungle Siesta), proving that, as Vie says, the technique will work with any subject. This painting has some of Vie's touches; she loves to show rather than tell you how to fix problems. I was frustrated as usual, since I rarely do well in workshops, but in the end liked both paintings I came home with. I'll post the other as soon as I photograph it.Oil, 12x12

Sue - What is your medium on this - oil? Very interesting piece, and it shows a lot of confidence! Lovely colors and translucence on the cactus. It definitely has an energy to it - good job!
I love it Sue, it's such a fun painting.. Vie has rubbed off on you again, (with this one and the previous one you did), I loved it also..
And you are right, any subject works with her techniques.. Can't wait to see more of these in the future.
Oh I like this a lot! Very nice...can't wait to see more like this!
Regina, Rae, and 'Zanne, thanks so much for the encouragement! I think maybe I'll continue to work in oil for a while, and maybe- just maybe- work on abstracts, which are a stretch for me. :-)
