WHIDBEY ISLAND FINE ART STUDIO AND THE DAVID GRAY WORKSHOP

A friend had told me about David Gray's workshop soon to be hosted at Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio.  Knowing nothing about these things, I took a look at David's website and fell in love with his luminous classical still lifes.  I took the plunge and just returned from a very full and very fulfilling four days.  Here's a snap shot of the four days of instruction.

The instruction is held at the fairgrounds in Langley, lots of nice red farm buildings and lots of bunnies running around on the green grass.

Cary is the owner of the studio and a welcoming presence as we get set up the first day.
