REVIEWS
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.

Title or Location: Smell the rain?
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.
