Honoring Geisha

I am home maybe 20 minutes now and had to get something posted from this years multi day Painted Quilt Art Retreat in beautiful Temecula, California. There was so much great talent in this retreat. Our retreat location maxed out on available beds so we had to keep the number of students at 15. My apologies to those that had wait listed. Please check pattsretreats.blogspot.com for 2011 dates.
A quick pic of a few of this years students.


The couple front and center (Larry and Cindy) are both Southern California doctors who have joined me 2 years running, and are growing their skills by leaps and bounds. Neither had done any such thing a year ago. Now look!. Cindy has developed a keen eye for seeing what is needed to enhance a piece. This first Geisha was painted by Cindy Tinsley.
I'll be posting more of students work over the next few days.
