Wow. That sounded bossy. Please excuse me – my intention is excitement, rather than shouting orders. Wendy Miller is one of the best drawing students I’ve ever had the privilege of helping. I urge you strongly to see this show. And, many of her pieces are for sale. What an opportunity to own high quality […]

A Lavender Painting
This is a view of my friend Barbara’s French Lavender in Three Rivers. Livingston Lavender Farms, named after her grandmother who built the home, will be open soon for you to come harvest lavender. June 15? More will be revealed. Imagine a blank journal with lines inside and this painting on the cover for around […]
More about lavender
My amazing friend Barbara grows lavender. She opens her lavender gardens (or is it a farm?) to the public each June when the lavender is at its peak. People can harvest bunches of lavender. The dates of this event are a little squishy, because the bloom is dependent on the weather. This year, it is […]
Hidden Object, Contest, Prizes
Remember this mural? Now, there will be a hidden object painted in this mural, visible Saturday, May 11, 2013. No clues. You are on your own to find it. It does not appear in this photograph. You need to go there in person. I apologize to those of you who do not live near by. […]
A Friend’s First Art Show
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 […]
An Oil Painting Workshop, Beta Version
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 […]
First Saturday December
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 Exclusive Perfect Gift Boutique in Review
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? Well, the Arts Center is small, so we have to exclude any exhibitor who doesn’t say “Yes” soon enough […]
