ACADIA MAINE PLEIN AIR

 I had a magical week with three other amazing artists in Acadia in Maine.  Barbara Jaenicke, Lyn Asselta and Anne Strutz.  It was both inspirational and intimidating!  I am more of a studio artist so the challenge was on.  But, being with them and just taking my time to learn was a great experience.  And they were wonderful women to hang with too!  Here are my 8 x 10 oils.

SOME RECENT DEMOS

 Here are some recent demos from both a pastel workshop in New London, NH and my Monday oil class.  I was asked to show how to do refelections in pastel in the Monday class so I did two demos that day, and one was in oil.
