And So It Begins...

The last two days have taken me by surprise a bit. I had really been looking forward to the art classes beginning at the Tucson Art Colony. We had worked so hard on the buildings and grounds and websites....
So of course I was excited. But then the first class was Tuesday. Chauncey Homer had his first class (on our grounds)...and I was just about overcome. It's really happening. These wonderful fine artists are teaching classes through the Tucson Art Colony on our grounds. Placita de la Luna has REAL artists painting there!
We had already been blessed when Brenda Semanick and Sarah J. Webber began using studio space at the Placita. That has been completely heady.
Then today Phil Starke's class met. Some of his students opted to paint in the courtyard instead of the classroom. I smiled everytime I saw them set up with their stately easels painting things they had found in MY humble abode.
December 13 is the Grand Opening. I do hope we can get the word out that this new part of the Tucson Art Community has begun - and we want to SHARE it!
