video

I just found this video on line and also discovered that if you google me, there are others as well.  This does a pretty good job of showing my process...can't stand looking at myself but the painting shots aren't bad.  This was from a plein air through my gallery, Camden Falls Gallery, a couple of years ago.

Student 10 stroke work

Here are some examples of my students' work on the 10 strokes.  They were awesome!

10 stroke eggplant

Did some 10 stroke exercises with class today.  Along with practicing better brush strokes and really loading the brush, we also talked about turning form with color not value.

This was my only half way decent 10 stroke!  Some of my students blew me away though.

Corner of Maple Tree Lane and Peacham Danville Rd

I have painted this scene various times and never tire of the light and colors I see here.  When I leave Peacham, VT I get to this corner and always marvel.  12 x 12 oil on canvas

Utility Room

Utility Room is 16 x 20 oil on canvas.  Such a difficult painting.  Not sure it is totally done yet.  I really had to start making changes that were all about the painting and its unity and color and nothing about the reference.

OPA Eastern Regional

I am very happy to say that my painting, Water Marks, oil on canvas 16 x 20 has been accepted into the Oil Painters of America's Eastern Regional Show!  It was a lovely surprise

Cincinnati Art Club Workshop

 Had a fabulous time at my workshop at the Cincinnati Art Club.  Great students and even did some 10 stroke exercises.

Got to be the juror of awards for the Viewpoint national show as well.  Fabulous work and a very difficult job!
