2010 workshops

I have just posted my new 2010 Workshop Schedule on my website and will probably add a few more as time goes on.

The Brush Blessing

In my last workshop in Mendocino one of my students purchased a number 30 Natural Hair brush and asked that I bless the brush. I added a little bit of magic and we all had a good laugh.

Daler Rowney Watercolor Paper

If you have wondered about the Daler Rowney Watercolor Paper you can read my latest article in the December issue of Artist Magazine - Studio Staples to see what I think.

Fire Dancers

After the workshop Carmen and I went to dinner, we notice out of the corner of our eye Fire Dancers at the end of Noyo Harbor it was magical. There was a mother that was spinning her fire pots while her 10 year old son waved a blue glow stick.
The abstracted photos of light are titled Mother & Child.

Atmospheric Landscapes Mendocino September 2009

We had wonderful time in Mendocino, a very small class of 8 students which was very nice and personal. We worked on Atmospheric landscapes and simplifying the landscape into dramatic paintings. (Here is a painting that one of my students did while in the class.)

Trinity Workshop

Amazing - this little community in Northern California has such special energy, the students were wonderful, they came from all over these mountains, to this small community center. On one of my adventures with my hostess Evelyn Ward who teaches watercolor herself in Lewiston / Weaverville she brought me to this Buddhist temple that I found very healing.
The trout fishing is wonderful in this area and I was so tempted to throw in a line.
