First
of all, I'm LOVING this Raphael linen mounted on 3 ply board. It's
exquisite and truly resilient. I tried another painting (not a keeper)
and have wiped and scraped it nearly back to original finish I think 3
or 4 times. I think that one might now have too much bad karma to create
on, but I highly recommend board.
I have had a bit of a run with
the effects of losing my mom lately. It's been nearly 8 months, but
it's still raw. Her name is Lorraine and this painting is not of her,
but was painted with my heart and soul filled with her spirit. As was
yesterday's painting. My work is 100 times more expressive when I absorb
myself in emotion of any sort. Certainly this is true of most artists. I
feel blessed to have the gift (or affliction - depending on how you
look at it) of sensitivity.
Thanks to everyone who has continued
to follow my work; comment and ask questions. I'm getting oodles of
inquiries about my workshops, classes and lessons. Oh my! How
exciting! So I hope I've covered at least some of the pertinent info
below. I am hoping to get one scheduled in Carmel, CA for next year.
Being that I'm in Orlando, folks from the west have been asking me for
years when I am coming to that area. Keep your fingers crossed ya'll!
And if any of you have contact info for places who can host up to 15
students, please let me know :)

• Announcing one day, 3
hour intensive COLOR MIXING workshops in my studio in Winter Garden,
FL! These sessions are designed to help students prepare for their own
paintings that they will paint at home with their premixed palette. This
is all about thorough color mixing; not actual painting. Each student
will be provided with a high quality color print of their selected
photograph with a clear breakdown of which colors will be mixed.
Preparing a palette of clean, harmonious color before putting
knife/brush to canvas gives you a head start on a successful painting.
Workshops are held on the second Saturday of each month. Cost is $50.

I belong to a paint group called "Pieces of Eight". We meet every Monday and it is the highlight of my week. Last year we spent several months studying "the masters" and attempting to duplicate their paintings. We had two exhibitions which we call "Friends and Faux". This is my version of the VanGogh seascape. Leave a comment if you are interested in purchasing this 11x14 painting and I will reply with purchase information.
