Throwback Thursday - Penland School of Crafts 2011

I was looking through pictures on my computer, when I came across my photos from my experience at Penland School of Crafts in 2011.  I attended a 2 week workshop called "Art for Nature Freaks".  We hiked at Roan Mountain, Mount Mitchell, Hunt Fish Falls, Hawksbill and visited Robert Johnson's studio in Celo, NC.  We took botanical samples from our hikes and brought them back to the drawing/painting studio at Penland and set to work.

Crown Vetch, my first painting of the week!
