San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

I recently went on a trip to San Miguel de Allende with a group of 15 artists.  Frank Gardner put the whole trip together for us, including finding us a great place to stay, Casa Heyne.  The villa was great, approx 16,ooo sq ft., with a cooking and cleaning staff.  We were very spoiled.  Paintings from this trip will be in two exhibitions in February.  The first is on February 12th at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, in Dennis, MA.  The second show is at Addison Art Gallery on February 13th, in Orleans, MA.  The following pictures are in no particular order, all of the artists in the photos should have links to the right of the page, if not write me and ask for their websites.

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Just wanted to mention that I have an article in the October 2009 issue of American Art Collector. The article features some of my North Eastern Fisherman paintings. Here are a couple to give you an idea of what they look like.

FIGURE PAINTING WORKSHOP AROUND THE CORNER!

"Clearing Storm" oil on linen 18x24

I will be teaching a Figure Painting Workshop that will focus on painting the figure outdoors.  We will study color and value in this class.  Since light moves so fast, we won't focus as much on composition or drawing.  Instead we will focus on making studies from life.  Drawing and composition should be studied for years and take a long time to develop.  So does color and value study, but I feel like this is something that is possible to teach in a short workshop like this.  I hope that my students will take something valuable from this class and ideas in this class will be the starting point to painting great color from life! If you are interested in this class please visit www.paam.org to get more info.  The dates are August 10th-12th, the cost of the class is $350.  I will be painting demos and working with students.

Hope to see you there!
