a few more pix of Idyllwild

Linda in an outdoor painting class at Idyllwild.  

A view of the "tent"  Ive started on a doll using this tent as inspiration.  I will use the mad skills Linda taught on sculpting and incorporate the beautiful form of the billowing cloth.  This was really the only time we stopped to enjoy our surroundings.  We were in such a rush to get to class, get to meals, get to airports....we had little time to just be..  But for a few small moments, we (well I) was quiet and just breathed in the beauty that was Idyllwild.  

Back from teaching at Idyllwild

Trying to recoup form teaching at Idyllwild in California.  linda mcnulty graciously invited me to be her assistant in her Santos making class.  We had a blast

The students were amazing

There work was spectacular.  Here are a few examples

The artist in class were so talented and produced amazing works. Thanks to all the ladies who took the class and allowed Linda and I to share this amazing experience with you.

Idyllwild is a private high school for the arts.  It has an amazing staff, campus and students.  The kids were so fun and it made me long to be a teen again.  Well maybe not emotionally!!!  But to be young and attend a school that fosters growth in creativity...what a blessing.  The setting was breathtaking.  Above is a picture of where graduation is held.  And Im told, a favorite hide away where young love blooms!( and staff patrols frequently!)  Linda and I even caught a gimps of a zombie (or a victim of a horribly kiln explosion....we couldn't decide)
