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.

Come paint Croatia with me!

There are still some spots open for my Croatia workshop Oct 4 to 13.  We paint the gorgeous island of Korcula.  I got great tickets to Dubrovnik for less than $800!  Here is the link to the organization and you can read about what makes it so great to come.
