Give Yourself the Gift of Artistic Growth
Join me for a workshop at the rustic Landgrove Inn in Vermont
I have heard it before. I'm taking regular painting classes here. Why on earth should I register for a workshop? What’s so special about a workshop? So here is my response, the reasons that you should enroll in a workshop.
|
Have a dedicated time to paint
Classes make up a small component of your busy schedule. A workshop offers a dedicated block of time for painting, away from the stresses of every day life The additional hours allotted to painting each day allow for your own creative abilities to nurture and grow; basically, helping you get “into the zone” for artistic progress. |
|
|
Network with other artists
Workshops are often composed of small groups of like-minded artists who are painting, eating and living together. During this time, the participants can learn from each other and support each other. Often, long lasting friendships are made based on these shared experiences. |
|
|
Grow as an artist
As a workshop participant, you will be learning in a small, comfortable environment. You will be challenged, excited and pushed out of your comfort zone. Experienced painters may achieve new artistic “highs”, while beginner painters will find the workshop to be a nurturing experience with plenty of individual instruction.

Stimulate your creativity
Since workshops offer a block of time for intense artistic study, your creative energies can be recharged. This type of daily painting can shake up an artistic block and renew your spirits. |

Travel to a new location
Workshops are held at the rustic Landgrove Inn in southern Vermont. Nestled in a small valley within the Green Mountain National Park, the Inn offers unsurpassed scenery and supurb facilities in its InView Center for the Arts studio, This provides you with a fantastic opportunity to paint new sights and environments.

Enjoy a feeling of accomplishment
Because the workshop is a prescribed period of time, the painting study has a natural ebb and flow. By the time the workshop will have ended, you will have a feeling of some skill mastery and completion. |

A peek at Margie’s gallery
A new landscape, entitled The Reservation, was painted recently. The painting captures the days that overlap between winter and spring, just
when the air starts to get warmer and the ice begins to melt, but the spring buds have not yet appeared on the trees. Becca said that this painting reminds her of a walk in the South Mountain Reservation that she took with us; hence, the name.
Also for sale are note cards with five different images of Margie's paintings. The card sizes are all 5" by 7"; each one comes with an envelope. These cards are printed in the same giclee process as the larger prints, and are suitable for framing.
