signed up for a week-long painting
workshop for adults at the Oxbow School in
Napa, an one-semester art school for high
school juniors and seniors (a kind of
study-abroad program).
Surrounded by what turned out to be mostly
female art teachers, I came away with a
new appreciation for painting, painters, and
artists in general. Being an artist, whether
professionally or not, necessitates a huge
commitment of money and time! The
patience needed to complete a single work
astounds me. In another lifetime, maybe.
This was theraputic, eye-opening,
wonderful, inspiring, and full of good food
(our cooks came from Chez Panisse, a
highly-lauded restaurant in Berkeley). It
was almost absurd how good the overall
experience was!
Sign me up for next year!
