This is a quick study of a beautiful Texas bloom. We have a fields of these around our house right now, they seem to glow from within. They are a beautiful pink, but they often show up in photos almost white. This study was to capture the color and the glow.

This was a demo for the recent workshop I taught. The workshop was a success, and I am so proud of my student’s hard work.

Fantastic workshop day!!! I am teaching in North Texas, and there are beautiful wild flowers. Today was rainy for plein air, but we worked up color studies and expanded them to finished paintings.

I am teaching a spring plain pastel workshop based out of my studio in Texas April 25-28. I am also offering pastel, oil, and painting sampler classes at Ghost Ranch, in northern New Mexico this summer.
Completing an art workshop is a great way to do more art, develop a consistent practice, and grow your art community. I would love to paint with you and help you become the artist you want to be!

The sunrises and sunsets have been breathtaking this week…until I set up to paint it. The sunset was quiet, totally unremarkable.
The trees were spaced in a way that was too even to make an interesting composition, so I pruned some out of my picture!
