On Being an Artist
"All Creatures Great and Small..." 24x36 Oil - ©Dot Courson Here was today at Dot Courson Fine Art: I'm in the middle of working on two events that I'm organizing: #1 An upcoming painting workshop with John Pototschnik #2 A traveling show I'm co- chairing and organizing for the Mississippi Oil Painters Association (MOPA). ** I also have a "real" life! My husband helps me to host workshops for artists. The instructors are artists and are wonderful teachers- and usually American Master Artists, and people that I want to work/study with myself. I have Texas artist John Pototschnik here teaching to a sold-out group in less than a week. He and his wife Marcia will be here on Tuesday and will stay with us in our home - and I'm looking forward to that visit! Today I spent time "readying" ...aka: "cleaning" ... my home for over 20 of the artists to who we will host here for a dinner/cookout here at our home one evening...
