Any suggestions?


Would love your input! If you were about to take your very first painting class - what would you like to know before you start painting?

Just go to the bottom of this new post, click the word comments - and you can type in your idea.

"Get Ready to Paint" class is being designed especially for folks who want to start painting but feel a bit overwhelmed about walking into their first class.

We'll cover tips that I wished I'd known when I started painting ( like how to prepare your canvas, clean your brushes, how to use 'turps', palette choices etc). I'm sure I've forgotten half of what I didn't know. That's where you come in.

So -send along your ideas - and I'll add them to the program.
And if you know someone who might like this course - let them know.
Riley's -Fourth Street, San Rafael - January 31st
Tam District Community Ed - April 10th

Can't wait to hear your suggestions.

Finding a new home....


This little painting "Eggs in Red" (12 x12) is on it's way to a new home. Just shipped it- as a belated house-warming gift - to a very special couple. Hope they like it!

It's been so gray here in San Rafael this month - odd for us, but guess we can't complain given the serious weather elsewhere. I find I want to paint in bright colors when it's like this. Working in the studio today on a pomegranate - a small 5x5 still life. I'll post it soon.
