"Wow, what a quick weekend! It seemed like we just got to Taos, only to turn right back around, even though it was a four day weekend. The six hours each day with you went by so fast, though I am so grateful that I was able to have them...you gave me such wonderful instruction, a bunch of information I'd been seeking, and you helped me through some pretty tough 'growing pains' as I struggle to work with a medium so fantastically different than anything I've worked with before, in addition to trying an approach to art expression unlike what has been my 'norm' in the past. I was glad you were there as my teacher, but also with compassion and kindness and understanding...this is where my perfectionist nature wars with my newness to all of this and the frustration of not knowing how to 'say what I want to say' on the canvas! It's humbling, as you know in what you shared with me from your experiences! You are an amazing teacher, Patience...I am so thankful to have found you and that I get this time with you. Thank you."
