These paintings were created in my class Spontaneous Haiku Painting. We started the class writing several haiku then moved into the painting exercises. The end product is a booklet made with 8 of the paintings mounted on matboard, each with an accompanying haiku, bound into a small book. Everyone made several paintings and wrote several haiku and still had lots to do to actually finish the project so many of the photos here are works in progress. I apologize in advance for the blurry photos and poor color - I had a really hard time getting good photos with the lighting - the shadows and reflections were a constant problem.
The third day I taught a painting/collage class called The Enchanting Place, the students in there were so mellow and laid back, and I'm SO dissapointed I was unable to take any photos during that class due to a dead camera battery. So sorry to all the attendees to that class - feel free to email me any photos of your artwork and I'll post them.
Thanks, Katie, for a wonderful class. I enjoyed every minute and love my little book. Seeing other students' work is very inspiring, too.

Looks like a great class AND I LOVE IT that the artwork is not all the same! I just shudder when I see a bunch of happy women all holding up their completed artwork, and they all were instructed in how to make the same exact thing. Grrr! The results from your glass are beautiful and very individual. :)
