Painting with Michelle Conques this weekend in her home studio

I had a wonderful time painting with Michelle Conques and her daughter Autumn Bethea this weekend in Denham Springs, Louisiana.  It's about 45 minutes from New Orleans. You gotta know I ate good~! I even had fried grits thanks to Michelle's culinary skills and her husband Tony's rush to the store to return with real maple syrup.....yummmmm
Michelle has more talents than should be allowed in one woman.  Not only does she have a precious husband, she can teach art, garden, cook, and she paints unbelievable~!  Oh and did I mention she makes everyone feel like you're family in her home.  It was a wonderful weekend~!  She is one of the most encouraging artists I've ever met.  Look at her website and I'm sure you'll agree with me on her talent~!  It's MichelleConques.com
Here is a photo of her having fun in her studio....and yep those are some of her many paintings~!  I told ya, the lady's got it~!

I'm enjoying working with monochromatic color.

Sometimes I get to paint something that I really really love.  This is one of those. I love her expression.
