Excellent blog post. I, too, love that book. He must have been one heck of a teacher as all the artists/students remember every word he said. Teachers like that don't come along too often but I think Skip Lawrence (Whitney's student) is right up there with the best!
So glad the Blizzard of 2015 ended up being a mere hiccup, although I was looking forward to 4 or more snowed-in painting days. See you at our next critique.
