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.

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!

Scott Burdick Painting Available - Sale will go to Cancer Treatment payments.

"Planting Time" oil, 20" by 16" by Scott Burdick $5,000

Here is the text from http://www.scottburdick.com/ please pass this message along:


This painting was sold a few years ago, but the man who bought it recently found out he has cancer and is trying to raise money to pay for the hospital treatments he'll need. Sadly, he's always had medical insurance through his work, but recently switched from one company to another. Even though there was no gap when he wasn't covered, his new insurance company says his cancer is a pre-existing condition so won't pay for it. If anyone is interested in this painting, just contact Germanton Gallerywww.germantongallery.com Germanton, NC (336) 969-6121


This is just up the road from his house house on Flat Shoals Road. The farmers are planting Tobacco with the Quaker Gap Baptist Church in the background.
