Starting a four day work shop tomorrow with Tim Horn at China Camp in San Rafael.  We're also going to paint at Nicasio and The St. Vincent's School for Boys....all excellent plein air locations.  I've been Tim's assistant for this workshop and will continue throughout.  It's been interesting and fun.....and it isn't over yet!!  I look forward to seeing what I come up with, and if I've made any progress.  I do a lot more studio painting than plein air.  Very different.  When this workshop is over I'm going to start doing a 30 paintings series.  It's been recommended so many times I finally ordered the canvas boards and will get at it and stick to it...I know the value of it, having done a 100 drawings series before.  Working with Tim, who is an excellent teacher, will be a good kick start.
