Happy 2018 !

Santa ( daughter, Barbie ) gave us a "Google Home" for Christmas and I have been enjoying it's podcast feature.  Wanted to tell you about two of my favorites for artists. 

  Artists helping Artists - have so many interesting subjects they discuss that       are of help to artists.  You can pick and choose topics that interest you from      past podcasts

  Danny Grant - he interviews top artists of our time.  It is a peak into the           lives of those artists living and working successfully today

You can access the podcasts on your computer by downloading ITunes app and then go to podcasts.  No cost involved.  So give them a try the next time you are painting and want something different from music or audiobooks.    Enjoy !

                                                          .  

I want to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Be sure to click the Art Tips tab above to read some tips summarized by David Cunningham that we should all remember.  Happy painting.

November Happenings

November has been an extremely busy time.  We finished our Grisalle class, but we will continue to finish our projects in our Open Studio on Tuesdays.   Our class has taken on what can be considered a difficult technique and has done some  beautiful work.  Kudos to the class ! Soon after our class finished, I hosted Tina Garrett for a wonderful 3 day workshop at the Greensburg Art Center. Below are some pictures from that workshop.

The following week I went to Tina's studio in Mo. to study with Romel de la Torre.   Romel 's 3 day workshop focused on portraiture from a live model.  He and Tina are both great teachers.  I am so grateful to have been able to learn from them both.   Here are some photos from that workshop.
