    Class act

    As the first several weeks of art classes meld into the next phase I am amazed to look back and see how they've grown to almost full rosters necessitating moves into bigger class rooms. I can't be more pleased! I teach portrait painting at both the Visual Art Center in Punta Gorda and North Port Art Center. I also teach a drawing class at North Port. The comments I receive the most are about the amount of constructive instruction I give. Each class is nonstop learning and cre

    Show and Tell

    During the month of July I have six pieces displaying in the Member's Showcase at the Visual Art Center in Punta Gorda. This is a great opportunity for artists to feature a small collection, an overall sampling, or even a mini retrospective. I would classify my grouping as a sampling, with four recent oil still life paintings flanked by one of my few remaining fairy pastels and also an oil portrait modeled by the same girl who posed for my first place Water, Water entry.

    Art's Alive!

    Art is alive, even when your show just happens to be at a funeral home, which is exactly where my Art Reception takes place on Wednesday, March 20th, 2019. I belong to Charlotte Arts who organizes “Art in Public Places “. One of the venues is Charlotte Memorial Funeral Home, 9400 Indian Springs Cemetery Road, Punta Gorda, Fl. I attended a reception there last month and was I surprised? Here my work is shown in the conference room, however the evening of the reception everyt

    Composition in green and white

    Sometimes a simple stillife, composed as color, light and shapes, is like music to my ears. My favorite parts are the inside of the creamer and cup as this part is little more than under painting. #stilllife #composition #greenandwhite #dishes #fiesta #limoges #oilpainting #Florida

    I struck oil!

    Finally coming down to earth, back to oil painting, my true love. Just like a new romance, I’m giddy with the possibilities and maybe a bit intoxicated from the lusciousness. The waterways of Port Charlotte snapped into focus during my relocation hiatus from painting, and therefore are the subject of this maiden journey. #PortCharlotte #Florida #waterways #landscape #oilpainting #newseries #underpainting #brushwork #artstudio #FloridaArtist #maidenjourney

    Land of Oz

    An artist may have an entirely different take on their work than others who view it. As I share these final three drawings, part of a six piece series, the first art I made after moving to Florida, I see them as a time capsule. Thinking back, most of my work is produced in groupings, those being a product of my life at any given moment. In time order, the first drawing is a view from an Englewood shoreline of decaying docks looking towards Manasota Key. My challenge here wa

    Little Glass Studio

    Moving from Indiana to Florida involved a huge chunk of time and living. My subterrarium basement workspace has been exchanged for three walls of glass, three stories up. Possibly the result of a life in flux, my eye was drawn to roadside motels and beach shanties, homes for a day or a lifetime. #pencil #sketch #Florida #motel #beach #shanty
