The class was well thought out. Even though I was the only one signed up, the class was still held which I appreciate! I received a lot of feedback and was able to get a lot out of the class.

Title or Location: Through Water Comes Friendship
The painting depicts a view from the beach along the Schuylkill River, where paddlers launch their boats. This location has fostered numerous connections and friendships among the paddling community. Having been a competitive paddler for over 23 years, I find this place allows me to unwind, enjoy the water, be with friends, and appreciate the stunning Philadelphia skyline.

Oil sketch, 11?x14?. This is my first attempt with oils after a 38 year career as an exhibit designer. Started with quick turp washes, then built up some detail. I was going to continue, but I kind of like it the way it is. Anxious to start another, and having fun.

Title or Location: Normandy cottage
My wife asked me to paint a country French scene. She said it must have a cottage and a picket fence, so I sketched a scene from imagination, adding a few other elements, then painted it in oil on a 24?x20? canvas. It is actually unfinished, as I am allowing it to dry before adding a wire fence and some glazes.

Title or Location: Bath Pulteney Bridge
On these last cloudy days of autumn, I had a walk around Bath Central and spotted this beautiful view from the riverbank under Bath Pulteney Bridge. I had to paint it because it brought me lots of feelings. Autumn goes, winter comes, and another year is coming to an end.

Title or Location: Christmas 2024: Home for the holidays
This was a real house on the free site UnSplash that I changed up to get the effect I wanted. I created this in watercolor and wanted to evoke a Christmas Eve scene of the warmth and comfort it feels to stay in on a snowy night with family. I tried to capture the setting sun and the inviting warmth inside with the frigid cold outside. Also while showing how much fun they had making this snowman. If you look closely there is a surprise lamp in the window that I added...FRA-GI-LE&128514... It's
