Hope painted with MaryCarole Larson in Georgia in November 2025. MaryCarole works in oils and acrylics and is especially known for portrait painting, while also guiding students through a broader range of subjects. Her workshops combine strong technical instruction with the kind of close observation and patient layering that help a painting become more convincing and expressive.
