Bloom True Two Portland workshop with Flora Bowley

I traveled to Portland, OR December 4-7, 2014 to participate in the Bloom True Two workshop with the amazing Flora Bowley.  It was a dream come true for me and 14 others participants.  I first took the online Bloom True intuitive painting course with her in 2011. That course changed the way I paint.  The Portland workshop was incredibly inspiring. It was so much more than just painting...it emphasized for me again to trust myself, allow things to unfold, to get out of my comfort zone.
It was wonderful to meet new fellow artists in this workshop, along with Flora and her lovely assistants Kate and Anya. I have worked on three, 36" square canvases during the workshop.  Now that I'm back home and still inspired, I'm painting a lot, hoping to finish them soon.
Happy New Year everyone!

Flora Bowley had painted inspirational words for each participant, this one is what I randomly picked. It's on my studio wall at home now.
