What's New October 2021


What's New

Oil Painting is what is new!! I am hosting Oil Painting Classes at the Solar Arts Building Studio # 205 Monday and Wednesday Nights. I had been give a lot of oil paint over the years as artists either gave it up, or they didn't want to haul it across the country. Well I also had a pretty good collection started myself.. Any Who, practice make perfect..

In The Studio


Currently in the class we are working on Seascapes, and it is a bit of a challenge.

Here are a few painting that i have been working on. I feel good about my skies, but my ocean waves are still needing a bit of work. Practice makes, well you know the line.

I also have been doing a lot of work in my drawing books daily. I often have slow times at the daily grind. so I have been taking advantage of the time.


We started up the On Location Drawing Co-op group again with support from Art To Change the World.  Here watercolor I did at the Lyndale Rose Garden last weekend.
