I had an exciting weekend in Lubbock with the Caprock Art Quilters!

I spent three days last week in Lubbock, Texas, teaching "From Inspiration to Abstraction."   

I love Lubbock.  It's a small city, easy to navigate, and has a thriving arts scene.  And it is the home of the Caprock Art Quilters, a strong group of artists who live in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico.   

The class was held in a classroom at the Museum of Texas Tech University.  On the balcony outside our class room we had a wonderful view of the dinosaur exhibit.

We started with several small pieces inspired by artwork that I had chosen.  A Van Gogh sunflower painting:

 And  a painting by Joan Miro:

Aren't these small pieces fabulous?  I knew at that point that I was working with a very talented group of artists.

After our "warm-up", the group started working on their big pieces.  I had asked them to bring a picture of an artwork that inspired them.  They jumped right in and got to work:

And the pieces they made, every one of them, were AMAZING!

What a wonderful group!  I came home energized and excited.
