Drawing Trees- Student Work

My Drawing & Painting Trees class is off to a great start! In this  class we have students from Alaska to France and all across the USA. I am really pleased with the work they are doing and also with the enthusiasm they are showing for drawing and for trees! Here are a few examples. Enjoy!

Workshop Week in a few words and lots of pictures

The workshop bunch has come and gone and I am back at work in the Woods and in the studio. It was a good week with lots of hard work, fun and camaraderie. Here are a few highlights.

Obligatory group photo!

Spring's Promise

20 x 20

Later this afternoon, twelve hardy souls arrive in Clarksville from all over the US- Washington State to Florida to Boston and points in between. It is the inaugural of The Landscape Atelier, which is designed to provide a start to finish, eight day course in landscape painting. Our first two days will be spent in the field, drawing and doing painted studies to use as reference for the remainder of the week's work. Luckily, our stormy, cooler than usual weather is gone for the moment and we are enjoying a beautiful spring day.
