Two Things Today

Two Tangerines - oil on board. 6x6

These are point/shoot, so not great; oops I cut a bit of edge. Sorry about that.

Hey all, two things today:

Paintings. 6x6 paintings . Painters always are learning - not matter how long they've been at it. I think it's typical - you feel you need to 'perfect' your brush stroke, color sense, composition. Whether you paint abstract or traditional -you need to build the same skills.

These small pieces allow me to hone those skills. Most are on artisan board; a few on canvases. Usually traditional but sometimes I'll play with abstract. I'll post a few over a few weeks.

Classes. FEBRUARY 6, 11:30-3:30. RILEY'S ART STORE. San Rafael.

Tell your friends. I'll be teaching "Get Ready To Paint" This is for total beginners. An orientation to terms, paint, brushes, surface preparation etc. Presentation and hands-on ez activities. For anyone that would love to paint but is hesitant about getting going.

FEBRUARY 12, 10:00 -3:00 TAM HIGH COMMUNITY EDUCATION

Tell your pals! "Get Ready..." has been really well received. There are so many people who want to get in touch with their creative side; folks want to paint but are "shy" about jumping in - worry about feeling intimidated or making mistakes. Can't make any mistakes in this class! It's all about learning brushes, color mixing etc.

NEW CLASS: Working on new class - should be ready in next month or so. New class should be ready in a couple weeks then I see if I can get it into the schools.
