David Taylor, who recently won three major awards in watercolor and judged in China, just finished teaching a workshop with us.
It was a thumbs up week with a great group of painters and fabulous weather.

The group went to Olana and down by the Hudson River on a couple of days, as well as painted around our grounds.

A picnic lunch was delivered to where ever the group was painting.

There were lots of lively conversations around the dinner table.

On the last night David asked folks to dress up for change and he bought a Crazy By Design quilted tie for the occasion and Jim C. followed suit! David likes the ties I make featuring guitars and has purchased several over the years. Thanks, David – they look great on you!
