Come paint Provo's beautiful scenery with us on September 25th and 26th!  We'll meet at Terra Nova Gallery, discuss Color Infusion, among other juicy painting tidbits and then go out and paint.  Friday we'll go to dinner with gallery owner/photographer David Hawkinson.

We have had so much fun at these workshops.  I was honored to get David's invitation to host one for me.  What a blast!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the demo Friday!  Great turnout.  Thank you for the interested and inquisitive participation!

Wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones.  We had professional artists, students, art appreciators, and collectors attend. 

David did a fantastic job with the lighting, set up and tunes!  Thanks to our model - he endured to the end.

The demo piece was completed in three hours.  Collection David Hawkinson. 

Photos posted soon.

Come on out to Terra Nova Gallery tonight, Fri., Feb. 6th from 6-9pm, and visit with me as I demonstrate from life.  I love these demos.  It's an exciting combination of model, artist and onlooker participation. It's a challenge switching on both sides of my brain simultaneously so I can talk and paint at the same time.  Forgive me if I end up painting a conversation and talking a brushstroke!

See you there!

I wish I were playing croquet outdoors on a summer lawn instead of shoveling snow!

David Hawkinson, owner Hawkinson Photography and Terra Nova Gallery, came up with this catchy phrase and great idea..."Tidbit Tuesday".  On Tuesdays he features paintings with "tidbits" of information from the artist.

Here's today's tidbit:

The interior in Carnation is a room on the second floor of my great-grandfather's home built around 1870.  It is the David McKay home, birthplace of David O. McKay, historically registered in Huntsville, Utah.

The  one-armed chair depicted was a gift from my grandfather to my grandmother.  He bought it for her because he thought that she loved it and she kept it because she thought that he loved it.  Years later, it was discovered that they both disliked it.
