The 2010 CPSA Convention was an unforgettable experience. Here are the highlights:
- My workshop "Wax and Heat, A Match Made in Heaven" went very well
- The 67 workshop attendees were an incredible group - attentive, responsive, enthusiastic, and now my friends
- All the Icarus Drawing Boards sold out and more
- The exhibition at The Art Museum of Los Gatos was outstanding
- The CPSA sponsors and corporate members were incredibly generous with all of us - nobody went home empty handed
- The Award Banquet was truly memorable especially for the slide show that chronicled the twenty year history of the Colored Pencil Society
- I received my Signature pin - yay!
- My artwork "The Lightness of Being" was honored with the Sanford Prismacolor Award for Exceptional Merit
- Last but certainly not least was the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones
I have so many great pictures and memories to share but I'm staring at a mountain of boxes blocking the light of my studio window. They are waiting for me to unpack them; all my art supplies and tools have to go back into their proper place as soon as possible or I will not get any sleep tonight. I'll post again soon.
July 29, 2010 - Ester's Workshop at the CPSA Convention
You deserve it!
Fabulous...go for the stars...I think you already have...Congratulations on your successful convention and many more to come! Marianne
Yes, Ester, your workshop was a smashing success! I am so glad that I took it. It was great to see you in San Jose. Hi to Mario.
Ester, I was just unpacking my bags from the convention, and got totally sidetracked looking through your workshop materials. The unfinished exercises are making me wish I had bought a board in California, even though my luggage was bursting at the seams! Thanks to you and Mario for a fantastic experience, and congratulations again for all of your honors and success.
Hi Ester and Mario
Had an absolutely great time at your workshop. Can't wait to get my new board. Just finishing up moving my son into his new condo should be home Wednesday night and then back to the easel or now your board. Had a great time meeting you and so happy for your success with your art piece.
I've had a database failure and lost my individual replies to your comments. Here is a summary:
Juliet and Marianne: Thanks for your support! What would I do without my friends?
Debbi, Liz, and Cynthia: It was a pleasure having you in my workshop and getting to know you at the convention. Thank you for your encouragement. Let's keep in touch!
