COASTAL MAINE WORKSHOP

 I had a wonderful time in Rockland, Maine with the Coastal Maine Workshops.  Great group of students and it was beautiful in Maine...as always.  Here are some oil and pastel demos:

APPALACHIAN PASTEL SOCIETY DEMO

 Had a fun one day zoom workshop with the Appalachian Pastel Society.  Here is my 9 x 12 demo:

HILTON HEAD WORKSHOP

 I had a wonderful time teaching a workshop with the Academy Arts on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.  It was 3 day oils and pastels with a great group.  Unfortunately, I returned with Covid.  Amazing that I never got it from IAPS in Albuquerque with 500 people but...At any rate I am currently on day 5 and have mild congestion and am tired.  Ever grateful for vaccines and boosters!

Here are some of my demos...all 9 x 12

SUNSET ON MARTINS POND

I went up to my camp on Martins Pond, brought my art supplies but forgot a canvas!  So I had a small painting here I never liked and decided to put some acrylic over it and do a sunset from the other night.  Here it is..more texture than usual due to the under painting.  9 x 12 oil 

LAST SWANS POST

 I forgot to post my last pastel from Swans Island.  I finally found a wharf I could set up on and look at the boats there.  Found my lobster boat.  The water always turns the boats so one must capture the shape as quickly as possible.  Then, of course, someone comes and takes the boat out.  But it was still fun!

WEDNESDAY MORNING ON THE ISAND

 I drove around looking for a place to paint.  The wharfs on Swans Island are wonderful and beautiful but they are working wharfs and as such, an artist painting is in the way.  So I continued my quest down into a park that is on the water and did this pastel.  9 x 12

GOING FISHING

 Some rolling thunder and not a great plein air day on Swans Island.  Caught these two the other day with my iphone...good day to paint inside.
