 | | A Gentle Indifference 24" x 30" $13,500 |
After a wonderful but intense workshop on Madeline Island two days working alone in the forest was exactly what I needed. As a silent visitor I found the woods slowly envelop me. At the same time a wonderful line by Albert Camus from his book The Fall kept repeating in my head, he wrote,
"I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world."
That's exactly what I felt; Nature has no ego, tolerates us and is gently indifferent to our existence.

I am thrilled to be teaching this workshop. the Stone Barns Center is a great location less than an hour from Manhattan offering plenty of variety and an opportunity to study fall color with the prismatic palette.
Day 1 Will begin with an in-depth lecture on the prismatic palette and be followed by an afternoon Demonstration.
Days 2-4 Students will be working in the field - plan on working on 2 paintings per day. It is my practice to get around for frequent critiques so you will get plenty of help.
Day 5 Metropolitan Museum of Art - I can't imagine a better way to end a week of outdoor painting than with a survey of the worlds greatest art. History, craft and anecdote will be discussed as we all get our minds blown by what is possible in the pursuit of art.
All Levels Welcome (Humility Required)
