Dear Cobalt Folks!
I am doing well down here in Kentucky so far, I've painted just about every day that I have been here!  My TD is a genius at Photoshop. He was completely excited when he heard he was getting a painter from Cobalt, so he is a big fan.
And if I didn't say it at graduation enough thank you all so much for all your support over the last couple of years.  I owe everything I now know to Cobalt and I don't know really where I would be without it and everyone there!  So thank you again, I miss you all very much and if I don't say something about one of you every day, its a rare occasion.  Much love to all, I plan on keeping in touch!
Have a great summer!

Dear Rachel,

The thanks first:  Many, many thanks for the great times I had with you and at your place last week. It was wonderful. You are wonderful, and your entire household is wonderful. I sure appreciate the warmth and well-planned qualities that you have put into it all. It was a lot of fun to go swimming with you at Sackett Lake, too, and to eat ice cream together twice! Many, many thanks.

In the company of other theater teachers from a variety of other schools, I've savored a rich, inspiring, and delightfully challenging week learning ways to teach scenery painting to our Tech Theater students. Cobalt Studios has a couple of very creative teachers in Joe Rial and Sean O'Skea. Both are articulate, good at teaching us, and rich in understanding the kind of students we have. Joe and Sean are very good at sharing tips to help us inspire teenagers to do this visual work and do it well. Along with the hands-on instruction and process critiques in many methods, we all learned ways to become more confident and to inspire student confidence. All of us who attended had different theater situations yet similar theater painting questions, and I thrived on being in the company of my peers. What a valuable workshop week! Doing all our paintings in the professional space of Cobalt Studios was a fabulous bonus. I learned from that, too. Thank you all.
