I’ve spent a great four days presenting a watercolor workshop in San Antonio Texas. Thanks to Barbara Brunner who organized the workshop sponsored by the San Antonio Watercolor Group. I met a wonderful group of accomplished artists who I now consider friends. And what a classy group! We couldn’t have been treated nicer.
Nellie and I were met at the airport by Barbara with a vase of flowers, and we were treated like royalty the whole time. They put us up in a top floor suite at the Crowne Plaza hotel which turned out to be the nicest and friendliest hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The staff went out of their way to accomodate all our needs and the facility was superb.The weather has been in the high 70’s the whole time so we’ve been loving it.
Our good friends Greg and Kathy Cherry invited us to their home for a delicious salmon dinner one evening and took us to the Alamo and the Riverwalk another night. We were fortunate that the Alamo was open Friday evening for special re-enactments of the Alamo history. It was fun to visit with Greg and Kathy especially since we share cute grandkids together. Now we are flying over to Houston to spend a day with Jana, Phil, Matty and Katie. Then off to Denver for the APPL conference. We expect a big climate change between here and there since snow is predicted tomorrow up there.
Thanks, Mr. Lee, for a most inspiring and informative workshop! In addition to your incredible art talent and gift for teaching, you are also a gem of a human being. I know I speak on behalf of the SAWG attendees when I offer a hearty “thank you”. ‘Hope you and Nellie enjoy the rest of your trip! Take care, Adele
