The Foothill Artists League

I know... you really want to hear about day 3 and 4 of the art workshop, but I thought  I should write about the Foothill Artists League.

The Foothill Artists League are a group of painters that meet weekly and paint together, critique each other's work, and support each other, both artisitcally and personally.  Our group is lead by my ultimate mentor, Margot Lennartz.  Margot challenges us to paint subjects out of our usual comfort zone, use limited palettes, and different techniques.  I am usually drawn to paint flowers and architectural subjects, but with Margot I found myself painting mountains.  I feel so blessed to paint with this group of amazing women.

We will be hosting our annual art show and sale on Sunday, Oct 3 from 1-5 at the Lanterman House in La Canada.  If you are in the LA area, I would love it if you could swing by and say 'Hi'.

The above painting is of the Pacific NW, painted with oils on 11x14 canvas board.
