Art and Soul sign up is this week. I have always gone on-line at 12:00 exactly to ensure I get the classes I wanted. The past two years, I have been successful. I don't know what it is because other years I was closed out of a couple classes. It's probably the economy. Maybe the fact that this is A&Ss' 6th year and people have "been there and done that..." It's probably the economy and every year the prices have gone up. Each year I think afterwards that maybe I won't sign up for as many classes next year because I am beyond some of the classes I have taken. I am not better than the teachers at all. But I am not the same artist I was at my first Art & Soul. Each retreat has touched me in many ways and I have grown some years in leaps and bounds. Last year, I came away feeling that maybe I should be more selective. BUT, I really enjoyed myself and the biggest thing it does for me is gives me a new injection of energy, creativity and inertia.

This year I signed up for:

1.Weds night/Thurs day: Painting Mindscapes with Stephanie Lee

2. Friday night: Shibori and Hand dyed Ribbons with Lorri Scott

3. Saturday: Sculpting a Sketch with Jane Wynn

4. Sunday: Freedom to Create with Jesse Reno

2 painting, one drawing and one fun.
Bring it on. The past few years Art & Soul has been my vacation. This year I will only have to take one day off. Can't wait!
