The Painting Experience Annie Rousseau shares photos and reports from Vancouver Island: We had a fabulous workshop here at Ocean Resort. We enjoyed delicious, healthy meals, beautiful spaces for our painting studio, our group time, and video watching -- all with ocean views. We had time for walks on the beach, saunas, and bodywork. We were held by the sea, the sky, and the process in a setting of stillness and nourishment.

Cilente Bosman Hi there. Just thought I'd let you know - artsbowl.com is live now! We'd love to see you and your members on this site where like-minded spirits can share their creative experiences with others.

The Painting Experience just wrapped up a fine weekend in Hoboken. The Monroe Center was the perfect place to paint -- quiet, private, lots of light. The group embraced a theme of "not knowing."

This is the latest note in our series exploring the basic principles of process painting. The creative force is like a beam of light: one moment it may focus on a flower or a god, the next moment on the underworld or the mud...

Kittipong Panmuong Thank you for a great workshop.

Sharon Suess When my grandchildren were very young (one-year old) I had them painting with tempera paints, and I decided to let them teach me. Then a friend recommended your book "Life, Paint and Passion" and I fell in love with your ideas. My goal is to take your painting experience workshop some time soon. Sharon

Hi Stewart, another brush with serendipity - or spirit play if you prefer. I was approached yesterday by a lovely woman who has recently moved here, and whose daughter did creative painting down in Devon with a woman who was taught/inspired by Michelle Cassou! She wants me to help her daughter "continue exploring her ...creativity through painting"... back in 2005 we mentioned the possibility of maybe someday me offering something like this in Scotland. Let me know what you think. Loads of love, DerbyRead More

This is the latest note in our series exploring the basic principles of process painting. You are finished when the painting is finished inside you. Try to keep going after you believe that you are finished. What comes then may be the most important time in your painting...
