Due to a student artist with a serious allergy to certain painting products, we are asking that you refrain from bringing these with you into the classroom.

Picture


"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky" are words a century old describing how the power of the sea and the sky has fascinated man since the beginning of time.

Such power is captured here in Martha's painting where the sky has darkened and shows the colors of a setting sun and the thunderheads that roll in to Southwest Florida with the afternoon sea breezes so characteristic of summer afternoons.

Martha will help you capture this power with your brush. We all look forward to Martha's programs when she shares so much of what she has learned through her continuous exploration of painting. Improve your painting of nature with this exciting picture!
