Finished "Red Barn Reflections" 10"x 12"
"John Olsen" 18" x 24" Oil on Paper

"Trapped" - 40" x 42" Oil on woodpanel

It has been a while, so I thought I'd post a few finished paintings. I have been researching local workshops in painting and drawing. I am looking at workshops in NYC, at the New York Academy for Art and the Art Students League. Of course, there is always the issue of finding dog sitters and finances, but I will try to make it work. I have been consistently going to the Union College figure drawing sessions and have found it to be helpful and inspiring.

Plans for a trip to Arizona are all in place. Plane tickets and 6 - 7 host familes are awaiting my arrival. I am looking to take a plein air painting workshop in Tuscon from February 23rd-27th. It is out of Scottsdale Art Academy, but the students will be traveling to Tucson where I will already be. I will meet them there in Tucson. Really looking forward to this.
