More Images from Morra's Workshop...

Thank you John Morra for teaching another fantastic workshop at GCA. We look forward to your next Spanish Still Life painting class here in June (sold out)!

For those of you hoping to take a class with John in the next year, we've heard a rumor that he is developing a French still life painting class...
