Grand Painting Events
I continued my study in florals and still lifes with Hedi Moran at the Scottsdale Artists School. I also painted a month on The Big Island in Hawaii in February. In June, I took a plein air workshop with Brian Blood in Carmel. I had a wonderful three-week trip with the Plein Air Masters. We painted in the St. Andrews Island area, New Brunswick, Canada. I enjoyed painting with Kevin McPherson and John Cosby tremendously. I did 26 paintings, and actually sold three there!
I juried three paintings into the California Landscape Competition, and I also juried one painting into the National Landscape Competition at the Haggin Museum in Stockton, where I won Honorable Mention. That show continues through the end of November. On October 11-12, from 11 am to 6 pm, I'll be holding Open Studios here in Santa Cruz, where I will show my most recent pieces from all my great painting adventures!
I'll be attending a workshop in Laguna Beach in November with John Cosby. I enjoy his work and his wonderful teaching style.
2007
Plein Air Masters in Banff National Park, Canada.
I had a fabulous experience painting all through the park with some of the best impressionist plein air painters in the U.S. We loved staying at Chateau Lake Louise, and I brought home 17 new paintings, and have done several studio works from those. See the new Canada paintings!
