Hello again...I hope this finds you safe and warm! Here in eastern Nebraska we are on yet another winter weather advisory with more snow and ice on the way tonight and tomorrow. I'm so ready for spring and looking forward to getting back outside to paint! Here's the latest news from the studio and gallery...including my just released workshop and open studio schedule for 2019, and a special event in downtown Ralston, our first ever "Chocolate Walk," this Saturday, February 9th (details below). Thanks so much for your time, your friendship and your support of my art and my gallery...I am grateful for you! I hope to see you at an event, exhibition, a workshop or at my gallery soon!

In this workshop we will tackle two elements of painting which I find students nearly always struggle with: value and color. Day one will focus on values through a number of different exercises in black, white and gray. On day two we will explore color, including, by popular demand, how to mix a variety of GREENS! On day three we will work on both value and color together. This is an indoor workshop. "Capturing Light and Color En Plein Air" Friday thru Sunday, October 11th-13th, 9am to 4pm each day. $375.
