I hope you can see by Andy's painting that he is a kind and happy man. A pleasure to once again paint for this lovely family. They choose this setting with an impressionistic backdrop of the Prescott National Forest, because of their love for the area. The painting is in oil, 20" x 16".

Last month I took a flower painting workshop with Kathy Anderson, a delightful artist whom I've been so happy to get to know over the past year, and whose beautiful edge management and crisp clean color I've long admired.

"Debbie's Garden" as painted in class, with some fresh antique roses one of my fellow students was kind enough to bring to class. I painted "Pansies & Clementines" when I got back to my studio last week. 

Beat the heat!!!! Next summer, I'll be teaching again in Prescott, AZ. "For Love or Money: Portraiture and the Pursuit of Excellence" is a 4-day portrait painting workshop that focuses on both painting skills and on the business aspects of art.

I do not take more than 12 students in my workshops; every one of my students deserves a lot of personal attention, and I don't believe that can be accomplished with a larger student group. Please sign yup early to secure your place in class!

Next summer, I'll be again conducting a 4-day portrait painting workshop that focuses on both painting skills and on the business aspects of art.

I am very excited to teach in this beautiful facility, in an equally beautiful setting - it's been years - and I mean YEARS - since I've been in the Upper Midwest for summer, and it will be a fantastic time of year.

Again, space is EXTREMELY limited. I do not take more than 12 students in my workshops; every one of my students deserves a lot of personal attention, and I don't believe that can be accomplished with a larger student group.
