Welcome to the "What's New" page! I will use this page to let you know of upcoming events and other new developments and share my artistic musings from time to time.
Our summer in Chautauqua was wonderful! I had such a good time attending concerts and lectures, I almost forgot to paint. However, I am off and running again, painting large landscapes in preparation for my February/March 20008 show at the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center in Frederick, Maryland. The Center features the work of local artists in its five galleries. It is a beautiful venue, and I am painting up a storm in preparation. One of my newest efforts is Dappled Stream just added to the website. Other summer work is now up as well.
My first art course taught this summer at the Chautauqua Institution was a success. I had a great group of students who seemed to have a good time. The drawing exercises were intense but fun. I found that because the course is only 10 hours long, I had to design a number of exercises that would work in this time frame, although I drew many of the ideas from Betty Edward’s book, Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain. If you want an interesting and structured approach to drawing, read the book and try the exercises. I have offered to teach the course two times next summer. Maybe I will see some of you there.
