Here comes The Poppy Spree!

After my first poppy video, I was amazed to receive such nice responses, that it got me thinking:  how wonderful it would be if I could meet all those gorgeous people around the world who take a bit of their time to write me words of encouragement and send me their love - people I've never seen, but I hold dearly in my heart.

So while I was talking to my wonderful friends, Melissa and Tracey (who is also a poppy painter), I got this fabulous idea of a watercolor poppy party! I was so excited that I immediately started to write down my thoughts and the next thing I know: what I had there was the structure of a fun online workshop! Then, I got even more excited and thought of my other friends around the world who are also poppy lovers, watercolor lovers, ART lovers for that matter: Diane, who has always nice words and encouraged me from the beginning in pursuing my dreams as an artist, Jennifer (the two of them!), super lovely Kristina, Corina - my Romanian friend and fellow artist I got to meet through Connie Hozvicka's BIG, the amazing Lynna who's been a huge inspiration for all of us, wonderful Mary, beautiful Natasha, always cartwheeling and smiling, Indigo - our everday joy, Kim, Christine, Tami and all the stunning-gorgeous-so-supportive artists from The Painting Tribe

and all the other extraordinary people out there I haven't even met (yet)

and

I decided I should do it. I should invite you all to a party. A Watercolor Party. A Poppy Party. My first online workshop ever, which I'm creating especially to get heart-connected to YOU, to bring you even closer - no matter how oceans apart we may be. It's called "THE POPPY SPREE" and I'm pouring all my heart&soul&energy into making this a real painting feast. And because I really really want to share it with everybody and send my love out to reach each and one of you, I'm making The Poppy Spree a FREE online workshop!

So for the last two weeks this is what I've been up to: painting, shooting and editing. Very soon, a "workshop" section will be added to the web-site and honestly - I cannot wait to fill it up with painting and joy!

I'm making my best to keep you posted in every way that I can (if you take a look at the "Contact" section of this website, you will find several ways to stay in touch and choose the one that works best for you). But I admit with the work and painting and so many technical challenges to put together this Poppy Spree - the easiest way for me is Studio Margot's Facebook Fan Page: www.facebook.com/studiomargot. Would you meet me all there until we can get this party started and call it...a POPPY SPREE?

Love,

Margot.
