Paint in Italy Workshop: August 3 - 10, 2014: Info


Just a quick post. For Sunday's portrait session, Mark -- dressed in revolutionary soldier gear came to sit for the class -- and this time I snuck in some time to paint in between teaching. Couldn't resist.

It's not often that a revolutionary soldier crosses my path.

The class did SO well.  In today's Still Life class, too.

Thank you for reading!

"Montmartre Shadows" purchased on Saturday

Two Recent Purchases
Two paintings were purchased since my last post. Under new ownership: "Montmartre Shadows" from my "Here and There" exhibit (see below) and "Fountain at Place des Vosges" from a visit to the Artists' Atelier. Three new collectors in the last week. Pretty amazing. Congrats and thank you!
