Workshops
Butchart Garden Images
I finally had a chance to work on some of the images I took while I was in Victoria, BC last month. Hard to believe that it is almost September!!! I am just getting ready to start working on my online courses for this coming fall. I hope to have at least two of the courses by late fall and another two by about mid-winter. I’ll be starting with an Intro to PhotoShop and most likely an Intro to Mixed Media Art. I’ll post more as I get closer to launching the courses.
I hope you enjoy the images!!!

Getting Busy with a Forum
Well today on my agenda is getting my site forum up and running. I finally got our contact form up and need to get that tested too. We should hopefully be fully operational by August!!! I am hoping that the weather will improve here so I can get out and gets some shots this summer. I am heading out to Salem in late June and then will take a few trips to the coast hopefully in July and August.
I am hoping to have some new work posted at the end of June or early July. It’s been difficult to find the time lately to work. I am still planning to build an educational feature into the site – I haven’t quite mapped that out yet – but hopefully that portion of the site will be operational by sometime in early to late fall.
Ciao for now,

Building Social Network Access
I am currently in the process of adding a social network component to the site. Hopefully I can get all of the bugs worked out and be up and running by the end of the week. I will be building the workshop and class area – which due to the nature of online learning – will need to have interactive features. My goal is to have everything operational by the end of June and then get busy working on a couple of class offerings for the fall. Along with that I hope to get some fresh work posted this summer. I have a couple of adventures lined up – so hopefully, I’ll have some good subject matter.
Here’s is hoping for a smooth process as this site build gets underway!!!

Design workshops are coming this fall…
I plan on putting together some online design workshops this fall – which will not only be taught online, but will also be available for purchase in DVD format for those of you who are unable to participate due to scheduling/time conflicts. I will create virtual classrooms so that participants can communicate with one another and share their works. I will offer my comments, if asked, but will let you all know upfront that I will only offer constructive comments – not criticisms – I DO NOT give negative feedback. I am here to encourage you and nurture you on your artistic journey. Negative comments only fuel creative blocks, which is what we want to avoid. I will be sharing my philosophy on what I believe constitutes art in another posting. Until then, just be aware that this is a place to fuel creativity in a safe and nurturing environment.
If there is a particular workshop that you might be interested in, please let me know – if there is enough interest, I may put one together at a future date.
I hope you all are having a lovely day!!!
Toodles, Kymmie
