Fall Watercolor class and Exhibits galore!

I can't believe I haven't posted since May! This summer was so busy with teaching arts camp and paint outs and I have not stopped moving since.  And of course with the Fall colors out now, I am painting as much as I can, racing the leaves before they drop.  Here's a new fall painting.
