October hocus-pocus in NC

Well my year of professional development is drawing to a close, and what a magical adventure it's been. Cullowhee Arts' two workshops on Lake Logan in Canton, NC were beyond the "alchemy" promised for the other group of artists there for the week. They worked with ground pigments and we had paint. And gourds, pumpkins, apples and shiny surfaces. 

Our instructor was CHRIS LIBERTI.
“I simply enjoy the process of painting, working with my hands, looking, mixing, adding a spot of color, standing back, looking and going in again.” He is a formalist who values perceptual experiences more than symbolism or context. 

Chris,  www.chrisliberti.com/,
led our group through a week of still life set ups that involved coming back to each painting and adding layer after layer. Thanks to hocus-pocus, the oil paint was dry and ready for more.  

It's always nice to meet people from all over who come to these workshops. ​And this Minnesota kid was glad to see some real fall color! It's been a very, very good year.
