One of my drawing students is so good that I asked The Courthouse Gallery in Exeter ( where I teach drawing lessons) to feature her in an upcoming show. I’m defining “so good” based on several things: Her work is technically excellent. She composes her drawings from her own photos (and occasionally from mine), carefully [...]

Oh Great. Now she is speaking Computer. Isn’t it enough that we have to endure occasional Artspeak without this too? What is “beta version”? I looked it up and found the best definition on Michael Hyatt’s blog: ” The premise is this: ‘we know it’s not perfect, but it’s far enough along that we need [...]

It only rained a little bit, off and on, no umbrellas required. The rain didn’t deter Linda, Maggie, Beth, Gail, Ron, Judy, Jeannie, Bonnie, Sara, Gary, Vanessa, Tom, Becky, Sonya or Rachelle! (I was just practicing my memory skills.) I saw this on my way over to the studio this morning. A grey day really [...]

The Perfect Gift Boutique happened over the weekend. It has become a tradition for the Kaweah Artisans to hold this exclusive event on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Three Rivers Arts Center. Exclusive?

The annual Three Rivers Senior League Holiday Bazaar happened on a rainy day. This might be the third year in a row, which isn’t really bizarre. I am not complaining – the rain is always welcomed in this part of the world. Central California feeds the world, and it requires irrigation to grow all that [...]

But First Saturday Three Rivers December is coming. This is how my drawing table looked. I was working on a Wilsonia cabin. This is the painting studio/gym/storage area/Trail Guy’s workshop. Please be impressed by my red chrysanthemums – I think the leaky hose in their barrel is the cause of their gloriousness. But wait! Notice [...]
