| UPDATES FROM MY ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EXPERIENCE AT CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN PARK, OCTOBER 2012. |
CMP is part of our National Parks system, and in located on Rt. 77, Thurmont, MD. Scroll back to earlier posts to see other information! Life in Good Luck Lodge at the very peak of the park at Green Meadow was great! The cabin was simple but well equipped for a comfortable 2 week residency. The weather was awesome...fall in the mountains...what is better? Showers of gold and russet, morning mists and bright days...the very best scenario to foster creativity!
As part of the residency agreement, I was able to provide a 4 hour meet and greet the public, working on a new piece and speaking with park visitors. I also did a lengthy presentation at Thumont High School's Art Department, concerning how to work from photographs when using natural themes in painting.
Kids always make for great audiences! Many questions, and several were brave enough to actually take my brush and work on my piece! Please note that faces are obscured in compliance with publication rules which govern the protection of children.
