Patrick Saunders spent a wonderful three days with this great group of painters at his workshop for the Hoosier Salon's 21st Annual First Brush of Spring event.
Each and every artist was brave enough to explore new ways of working. Kudos to all of you!
Our thanks to Linda Volz for the group photo.
Traveling the country in an Airstream, painting, photographing, and filming whatever strikes our fancy.
