Here are more photos and commentary from the secret oil painting workshop that I gave for my advanced drawing students. There are perquisites to taking drawing lessons – I lend photos, do scanning and photoshop prep for turning drawings into cards, and give secret oil painting workshops, among other benefits. We decided that the fruit […]
Secret Oil Painting Workshop
That’s right – SECRET oil painting workshop! I’ve only been an oil painter since March 8, 2006, learning by guess and by golly on my own, experimenting and bumbling along, taking and quitting a couple of classes, reading up, asking questions of other painters, watching some videos. What I know, which is precious little, I […]
The Perfect Gift Boutique
First of all, in case anyone is wondering, I am thankful. Very thankful for many things. Didn’t want you to wonder, since I’ve turned Thanksgiving into a commercial here on my blog.

Mineral King Fall Painting
Cabin is closed, color wasn’t very spectacular, and the Park lit a burn which completely obscured the views. So, have a look at how Farewell Gap in Mineral King usually looks in early fall.
Fall Painting
Friday’s posting about scariness in Mineral King even smelled like smoke to me. Oh wait – that is because the smell from the prescribed burn was in Three Rivers. Let’s soothe our senses with something else that is a symbol of fall, a nicer symbol, both decorative and edible. Pumpkins VIII, 8×10″, oil on wrapped […]
2015 Calendar Coming!

This year it will be a calendar of oil paintings. It will be called Beautiful Tulare County. If that sounds like a joke, stop being cynical! There are beautiful places […]
