"Open Table" Outdoor

I've been thinking about how to keep our "Open Table" gatherings alive—and inspiration arrived while I was sitting under the pergola outside my apartment. Surrounded by climbing jasmine and the shade of old trees, sketchbook in hand, I realized how magical it feels to work outdoors. So for the next "Open Table", I'm inviting you to join me here for a change of scenery—an informal outdoor session where we can sketch, paint, and let the natural setting inspire us.

If you'd like to participate in this "Open Table", bring whatever materials you enjoy working with—a sketchbook, pencils, perhaps a small watercolor kit. Nothing elaborate is needed. The idea is to keep things light and spontaneous. I will share some of my supplies.

If you live too far away to join us in person, I would still love for you to be part of this gathering in spirit. Think of it as "Open Table Everywhere." Find a small outdoor spot wherever you are—a porch, garden, park bench, or even an open window—and spend a little time with your sketchbook. 

I look forward to having you join me.
