TRINITY RIVER & HENRY FINKELSTEIN

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a plein air workshop with Henry Finkelstein, an abstract expressionist from New York. I attended 2 of the 5 days and painted at the Trinity River Audubon Center. TRAC, just South of downtown Dallas, once an illegal dumping ground and reclaimed by the city, is now a wonderful educational facility for families and students.

In addition to my 2 paintings, I've included an exterior photo of the TRAC facility and a party photo we had on our last evening with Henry.

Angela, so glad you got to attend part of the workshop. Saw Betsy at church before the event and heard about the seminar, but haven't heard any details since then. Just seeing your "pond" picture tells me of it's success! It's fabulous! Anxious to see the Audubon Center, it'll be a great addition to the Dallas area.
