So it begins...we are on our way to Albuquerque, New Mexico so I can attend a workshop being held by Tracy Verdugo. I love her work and knew I had to take this workshop. Tracy has the most fabulous spirit and it shows in all of her work. Bonus - we love road trips, so Chris was excited to come with me. We stopped along the Santa Fe Trail. I love, love history, so this was just another bonus along the way. Beautiful sunset along the stretch of Highway we were traveling. It felt like the promise of a magical weekend ahead. We are starting our first morning of the workshop. I am so nervous...you guys that know me know that I am shy and not very outgoing. Wondering how I am going to make it through this - I actually couldn't hide in a corner and play like I was invisible. Tracy was so welcoming and made us all feel at home. The sun was shining...I was starting to feel ok. We started out by dividing our canvas up into rows and columns and painting 2
