Seasons release their grip reluctantly here in Minnesota, but then, I'm not great with change either.
With age, the passing of summer has taken on greater significance for me; there is a wistfulness attached which I can only attribute to time of life and with that, an increasing amount of goodbyes and the accompanying changes that follow.
At the same time, I find a profound and delicate beauty in such transitions.

Congratulations
Over the past couple of years there has been an explosion of national press written and awards given to many of my past and present students.
Having taken the long ride with many of you it is a thrill for me to see you all find your bliss and have your moments in the sun.
Congratulations: Ben Fenske, Neil Sherman, Joni Jurek, Mary Pettis, Bob Upton, Scott Anderson, Kami Mendlik, Carl Bretzke, Kristie Bretzke, Joshua Cunningham, Tom Dimok, Pat Duncan, Sherri Thomas and all those I have unintentionally omitted.
Bravo and continued success to all of you.

Chatham Creative Arts Center
4-Day Plein Air Workshop
September 27-30, 2016 |
 |
Grey Morning Chatham 8" x 12" - $3,300

This is my fourth time back teaching on the Cape. Late September is the ideal time to work: tourists are gone and it is easy to get around. It's not hard to see how Edward Hopper was attracted to The Cape's austere beauty.
Note to students: Teaching is tailored to your level so all levels are welcome. My only requirement is that you enter the class humble to nature and open to new information.

Mt Kisco, NY 7-Day Studio Workshop
The 'Big Idea'
Creating a Large Studio Painting
Monday, March 13 - Sunday, March 19th, 2017
|
|
This will be my third time teaching this unique class and my second in Mt. Kisco. You will have the opportunity to implement a workable strategy for approaching a large work successfully indoors. Daily lectures will take you from concept to finish while making sound, personal choices.
This course has proved to be enormously effective.
All individuality and personality in a work of art comes from Subjective Choice Making -- not merely copying what is before us.
You will have seven days to work out those choices while creating a large painting in the studio -- unhurried and thoughtful.
We will be utilizing reference material (Field sketches, Drawings and/or Photos) and will deal with Composition, Distillation & Integration of Forms and Clarifying your personal vision.
You can expect frequent lectures, demos when necessary and a great deal of personal attention.
This is your chance to dig deep and expand your possibilities.
Enrollment is limited so don't wait to secure a spot.
All levels Welcome.
Cost: $1,200

This is a great destination workshop. There is plenty of variety to paint and Charles, Jenna and staff do an incredible job keeping you comfortable at the School. The facility is top notch.
Don't wait to sign up!
My mentor John Osborne once said, "The most difficult landscape to paint is a green one."
I will be teaching the prismatic palette with a special focus on an in-depth study of greens.
All levels welcome.
Humility and patience required.
I look forward to seeing you on the island
