Pastel Journal Article

Anne Hevener of the Pastel Journal picked 12 artists who were in the IAPS National Juried Show to highlight in an article in this issue of Pastel Journal.  I was so honored...and frankly, when I got the email from her I asked if it was a mistake!  Thank you Anne!

Studio time

 A couple of paintings this week.  16 x 20 Sunrise over Peacham, !2 x 16 Fog lifting over Peacham

OPA Eastern

Thrilled to announce that my painting, Cross Country Skiing, 8 x 24, has been accepted to the Oil Painters of America's 2017 Eastern Regional Show.  Getting anything accepted at the OPA is so difficult.  I am truly honored!

Adirondack Plein Air

 Had a nice time in the Adirondacks teaching a two day workshop and then jurying the Plein Air Festival.  These are my efforts...and let me tell you...the work at the show was fabulous.

Foggy Light Maine

12 x 24 oil on canvas
I love the light when it's foggy in the distance and hard to see the demarkation of the sea and sky but there are still lights on the boats and buildings

Fisherman and Swimming Hole

 It's been a difficult painting time...just not inspired.  Swimming Hole, 16 x 20 has issues...perhaps too many heroes.  I started on white rather than a toned canvas and I think that was a mistake.  I kept working it but finally have left it this way.  Fisherman is 9 x 12 and I toned the canvas and had fun with it....remembering fun!

Off to Saranac Lake to teach a two day workshop  as an intro to the Adirondack Plein Air Festival (I am juror of awards).  Still some space left in the workshop...should be a challenging week.
