View from the Clam Dock oil on boar 9 x 12

Hi all,

My friend and student, Kathy Lewis, who put my Aiken, SC workshop together took videos of my demos.  They are now up on you tube:

Although I HATE seeing myself in these videos, they came out pretty well.  The best to see is the 7 minute 10 stroke demo.

This painting was my last in Maine for this year...sigh

Sunny Maine Morning

On the Docks

After struggling with watercolor in Alvaro Castagnet's wonderful workshop, I'm back heading towards my comfort zone...but still struggling.  Today I did Sunny Maine Morning and finally remembered why I love to paint.

Check out upcoming workshops in New London, NH in August and Jackson, NH in September.

Colorful Camden, ME

This 12 x 16, "Colorful Camden, ME" oil on canvas was another demo in looking at shapes and not worrying about what they are.  My students kept asking..."Are you starting to paint actual objects?"  and I kept saying no, I am only looking at shapes.
