Wave Research

 I've been doing a little wave research so that I can understand how to paint them. Of course I've had help from the rest of the family.

On the Way to the Crystal Coast

My drive east to the Emerald Isle area was picturesque and enjoyable. I was given directions that lead me to a highway that I had not explored before and new sites to behold.

Old building along the way make inspiring painting reference photos.

Painting at the Crytal Coast

Painting with an exuberant  group of artists at the NC Crystal Coast and lunching from a delectable feast provided by the painters, what a delightful day today.

Original Landscape Painting

Landscape painting

Our students have just finished their second original landscape painting and they are terrific. From a photograph that each student chose, they designed, chose their paint colors, painted a wonderful landscape with advise from me. I think they were all very pleased with their efforts.

Safe Harbor

We just finished painting Safe Harbor on Wed evening and I was painting along with the class. Here is my completed painting. It turned out so nice that we may paint it in a day class if there is interest. I love painting the choppy waters and moody sky. We ended up with some wonderful mood paintings. Unfortunately my photo of the group paintings did not take.

Have you missed hearing from me? I have lost use of the studio internet connection on my PC and had trouble transferring all my email info over to my laptop. I’m having to reenter all the email addresses so if you know of anyone not getting my email updates and news, please tell them to let me know. So far, I only have my current student addresses reentered.

 We just finished painting the sunflower basket on Wed and I wanted to show you the beautiful paintings our students created. Lots of variety from the same design as we enjoyed painting loose.

Now our evening class has decided to paint this fun design so it you missed it in Cary or in the morning, you can paint it with us in July in our evening class.

Check the student's art page for more recent creations by our wonderfully talented students.

We had talked about having my open watercolor rose class this Sat, June 4, but there is not enough time to prepare and get the word out. We'll schedule it for a Sat later in the summer.

We are having the basic watercolor rose class starting next Wed evening and there is still time to join us.

We have planned more exciting classes including workshops for the weekends.
