Maynard Dixon Legacy Plein Air Workshop with Roland Lee

Roland Lee explains how to find the best views.

What a wonderful three days we enjoyed in Mt. Carmel Utah at the Maynard Dixon Legacy Plein Air Workshop with Roland Lee. Two days of sun, and one day of cool rain set the tone for this experience. I was joined by 14 other excellent artists who dove in to their paintings with enthusiasm. We are grateful to Paul and Susan Bingham of the Thunderbird Foundation for hosting us at their beautiful Maynard Dixon Legacy Museum. Nellie and I were able to lodge in the lovingly restored Maynard Dixon Home which was a highlight for us. On the rainy day we painted in the Edith Hamlin studio where she completed some of her wonderful paintings after Dixon's death. The property was purchased by famed watercolorist Milford Zornes  who held watercolor workshops there for a number of years.Thanks to Margo Cook, Dixie Stoddard, and Diane Stephenson for creating wonderful breakfasts for us each day, and to Melissa Griffiths for our fabulous "Garden to table" dinner one night. What a delightful group of people to spend a week with.
