Sending wishes for a happy day surrounded by family, friends, good company, yummy food and lots of gravy :O)

We are changing the advanced Tuesday class to Thursdays beginning on October 11th.  We will also be moving from Muscoot Farm to the classroom in my home. The Wednesday and Thursday classes are full.  There is room for three more students in the Saturday class when the new session begins on November 3rd.  Please email me with any questions at lauragould@mac.com

Please check the “Classes” for the updated class list.

Back from Cape Cod..still digging sand out of my shoes.  We had a wonderful time but as always a week is never long enough.

Looking forward to class tomorrow at Muscoot Farm (12:30-3:30) and the Wednesday and Saturday classes at my home from 10am-1pm.  Saturday we will be meeting in the field with either oils or watercolors for the first session. We will then move into the classroom for botanical art during the second session 🙂 I will announce our outdoor location near the end of the week.  It will be lovely to be outside in the coming Fall season 🍂🍁🍂       Please email me with any questions at lauragould@mac.com

See you all soon!

Early morning light on Cape Cod Bay…sigh……

What a summer!  I have never seen so much rain followed by soupy humid days.  I admit that I am looking forward to Fall 🍂🍁🍂

Looking forward to seeing  you all  🙂

Thursday classes will begin on September 20th at Muscoot Farm 🐓 for details go to the “Classes” section.

I will be offering a Saturday class in my home and in the field.  The class is going to meet outside during the first weeks of fall.  We will be doing plein air painting and nature journaling.  In October we will begin botanical art.  Please contact me with any questions if you are interested.  lauragould@mac.com

Saturday class is very limited  🙂

Watercolor journaling at the Muscoot herb garden 

The hilltop farm in Yorktown was graced with sunshine and lovely breezes…a perfect day to sit outside with sketchbooks and take in the day.  Everyone enjoyed the gardens, barns, silos and views out over the hills.  Looking forward to returning! 🙂

Last week began our summer of sketching and painting outdoors.  After a long winter it always feels good to be outdoors in lovely gardens and parks with the sun, breezes, bird songs and the occasional bug 😉  Welcome summer!!!

Tomorrow we begin our Nature Journaling sessions   As summer arrives there is little that is nicer than sitting in the shade, listening to nature’s bird songs and getting lost in small images of the world around us with paper, pen and watercolors.
