I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Aiken and Charleston
Corner Chair
Just back from a wonderful time teaching in Aiken, SC and Kiawah, SC. Great students and beautiful locations.
Here are some of my demos
Aline! These are fantastic paintings, all of them! I had no idea how exotic some of these places looked. I'm always in awe of your ability to capture such beauty with what seem to be 'slap-dash' strokes of color on your canvas! Clearly, you step back & look a lot, don't you? How else could you KNOW a dab here, another there would end up 'reading' as a horse, a wheel, a chair? To me, it is a form of magic, Aline. I especially like the interior w/ blue chair, & the street scene with palm trees. The latter is a lovely composition. They all are, but I really like that one. As for the giant trees & white houses, you really captured a sense of place--I've never been there but I FEEL like I have! All these works are just killer, Aline. And they come right after the posting of your 2 pastels that were accepted into the IAPS competition. The medium doesn't matter--excellent design & color harmony always works! L&K, MaryB
Beautiful work Aline! Wonderful colors and you caught the light so perfectly!
