Summer is here!

I am packing to head to Vermont to teach a couple of workshops next week. I always look forward to my time in Vermont, as I spent many years up in Stowe while studying with Frank Mason in his summer painting workshops. I returned for 11 summers to study with Mason because my work progressed each year. There is no place that you could get that information and knowledge at that time, and being in my late 30s, the time was right in my life. That has been 30 years ago, and now I teach and sell my work throughout the country. I value the time that I spent up there, the opportunity to study with Mason, and I appreciate the career that has evolved. It was time and money well spent.

I will be showing at various places this summer and fall and teaching again on Cape Cod in August. Returning to California in October. For dates and more info, go to CLASSES.

Hope that you have a good summer and be sure to email me if you want to stop in the studio to see some new paintings. I have been putting together some casual studio shows which means that I pull the studio together as well as I can and have open hours that certain afternoon. I had one in December and another one in May, and both were successful. I sort of feel that they are easier to put together than a big end of year show which is what I have historically done each year. This gets people in to see the latest seasonal work and offers an afternoon to measure and photograph things for certain projects. It has been a hit with interior designers as they can bring clients or vice versa and get measurements and talk about new paintings. They have been successful and great fun for everyone. Keep an eye out for info on my web or a mailing if you are on my Indianapolis mailing list - I plan to put together a Summer Studio Show as well as a Fall Studio Show and as always, a Holiday Studio Show.

Stay tuned.

Have a great summer. Talk soon.
