Featured Artist at the Gateway Gallery in Clayton MO

If you find yourself in the vicinity of St Louis soon, please drop by
the Gateway Gallery in Clayton. Some of my latest work will be on
display until Dec 31 as one of the featured artists in an exhibition
entitled "Paris and other Delights". I did include a Paris piece, but
most of my work falls into the "other delights" category. The opening
is Friday, Nov 20th, 6-9 pm. Please come! The gallery website: http://www.gatewaygalleryonline.com/

Same subject, individual approaches

In a room full of artists you'd expect a load of originality. I gave
them all the same project to work on, same building and same
perspective. The different approach each artist took to this demo was
impressive. Their artistic voices came out loud and clear! Great work
y'all!

Great Friends in Baton Rouge

I always have fun in Baton Rouge! The food is way too good, and the
friends here are way too much fun. This is one of the most talented,
hardest working and most entertaining bunches of artists I've ever
encountered. They make us feel like family. We can't possibly get back
to Baton Rouge often enough!

Baton Rouge Architectural Watercolor Workshop

My workshop friends in Baton Rouge had a ball with this demo. It was
challenging for all, and barely completed in time. We raced to a big
finish on Sunday afternoon. My demo painting was a fight, but I was
pleased with the results. We had so much fun in our cavernous ballroom
studio that there were even cartwheel attempts.

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art

Whenever you find yourself in the vicinity of Ocean Springs,
Mississippi, stop in to the Walter Anderson Museum and see the works
of one of my inspirations. Anderson painted some of the most
incredible watercolors on typing paper. He spent much of his time on
Horn Island, off the coast of MS. I too spent some time of my
formative years on this uninhabited barrier island. It is a great
escape and I hope to get back there someday. Walter Anderson's artwork
transports me back there every time I see it.

Pensacola Glass workshop

Great group of participants! Very talented, colorful and expressive!

We had a grand weekend painting a glass still life, ate way too much
good food, and wore ourselves out on Halloween candy!

I can never get to Pensacola often enough!
