IT’S FUN TO BE A BOREN STUDENT 

PAINTING IN FRANCE  AND TUSCANY WITH EVELYNE

Comments 2016

Evelyne, once again, it was wonderful spending time with you. I always progress in my painting skills with you! It is amazing to observe you in action and watch how you make an impression come alive with composition, color and your dancing brush.

But also, you are so inspirational in the way you live your life. You pass that inspiration along to people. You have had a major influence in my life, starting with meeting you in Santa Fe when you challenged me: “learn to draw and I will teach you to paint”. I spent a year taking drawing classes and then got on that plane and the train to the South of France to learn watercolor painting from Evelyne Borne! I don’t think I have ever looked at a challenge that I couldn’t take on since then. In addition to your painting, you should be very proud of the inspiration you give to people.
