Workshop
Instructor:
Marla
Blackwell
“Painting
completes me as a person. It is the way I express myself.
I am transported to the very scene as I immerse myself in a
painting.
My sincere desire is for the viewer to share this experience
with me and discover the peace, harmony and contentment I find
in that place.
My love is for the land. I am inspired by nature. The colors
and majestic formations that abound in this great country stir
my inner passion, which I strive to portray in vibrant colors.”
The landscape is Marla’s favourite
subject to paint. She grew up in Southern Alberta and now resides
west of Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. The Alberta Foothills are
spectacular which is why she never tires of painting them –
they are in her backyard!
