"Orchestrating"

Happy summer everyone!  The bright white and sharp shadows indicate a sunny day for this street vendor.  I didn't have a chance to taste what he was cooking...but the veggies looked fresh and yummy.  Just wrapped up teaching four classes at the Holbein Annual Art Event...We had fun..I'll post my demos soon.

By the Barn

I am hoping to get back to some regular posting soon!  Thanks for your posting patience everyone!  I am teaching a rooster painting class later this week for the Holbein Art Event here in Northern Vermont..that should be fun.  I ended up tweaking this guy's background a bit by scrubbing out a fence..you can see the start of it top right..I'll try to take a picture of the "new" version soon.

"Warm Glow"

This is very exciting news!  My painting "Warm Glow" 22"x15" has made it through the first stage of judging for The Shanghai Zhujiajiao International Watercolour Biennial Exhibition.  I sent my painting via USPS Express International Mail and will await the results of the second stage of judging!  Wish me luck...

"Ristorante"

This waiter looks like he'd rather be anywhere but where he is at this time!  I enjoyed painting (and inventing) the abstracted background, where there is reflected imagery and real walls and glass.  White is hard to paint, but white has shadows and reflected light so there is always some color, somewhere...

Market lady
