I took a six day workshop at Tougaloo College, Tougaloo, MS from Jerri Glasper, a remarkable landscape artist. This was my first and only class in painting and Jerri taught me more in a few days than I could ever have imagined.

                                                                                                                              I went to the class thinking, I don't want to paint landscapes and I don't want to paint from pictures, but Jerri taught me how to see and how to add the tool of painting to a never ending artist tool kit.

                                                                                                                              Thank you Jerri.
