I've been pretty busy teaching and demonstrating lately. Here are two pastel demos I did...one for the Vermont Pastel Society Lake Champlain hub and the other at the Studio Place Arts in Barre, VT.
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:
Had a fun one day zoom workshop with the Appalachian Pastel Society. Here is my 9 x 12 demo:
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
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
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!
