Happy New Year!
Health, Abundance and Joy are my wishes for you this year

Have you been thinking of taking an art class?  My class, Color Mixing, will start Monday, January 9th, 12:30-3:30.  at the Marco Island Center for the Arts. 

We'll do a lot of mixing!  We'll start by investigating just one color, and then expand our palette.  We'll learn just how many colors you can achieve with a limited palette,  and why sometimes that's not quite enough.  We'll learn about color values and color temperature.  You'll learn how to make greens six ways and more, and by the end you should be able to make any color you want, or know why you can't.
In addition, you'll work on the painting of your choice each week to reinforce the knowledge.   You can sign up online here, or visit the Art Center to register. 

On a more serious note, if you've been reading this blog for a while you know that I take the health of our environment very seriously.  Those of you who recently enjoyed my snowmen you might be interested to know that thousands of the recently gathered to protest global warming.  I think my twelve are among them....



Have a wonderful new year!

Global Warming, Soft and Sweet daily painting by Everglades artist Jo-Ann Sanborn

Soft and Sweet, Jo-Ann Sanborn
acrylic on board, 5"x7"

Last week the humidity was strong enough that anything in the distance was muted and softened by the moisture in the air and the temperature was a little warmer than we expect this time of year.  The Everglades were hot and muggy, with the purples of the dry season in full glory.

In some places global warming seems a reality, in others it seems like spring will never come.  Could it be that the reign of humans as the dominant species on the planet is coming to an end?

Left Bank Art Fest is Saturday.  See you there.
