The Landis Arboretum in Esperance, NY hosted our four-session workshop.  The lovely setting and the fascinating gardens inspired us!  Our lecture and workshop indoors at the Library and Herbarium didn't inhibit us too much, since we could always step outdoors for a quick break. (See snapshots)


Artists at Work!

The Workshop participants took their homework assignments very seriously indeed.  Each week after our Saturday sessions, they diligently searched woods and fields for some suitable subjects, and spent some happy hours on their renderings.  Samples from their studios appear below.  For artist credit, wave your mouse over each picture; click on the picture for an enlargement.
