Plein air Watercolor Painting Classes

I am offering two different adult watercolor classes through the Loveland Museum this summer. Both classes will meet outdoors to paint like the Impressionists did.

The first class is " Landscapes and Flowers of Loveland"
Wednesdays: June 4, 11, 18, 8:30 am– 11:30 am

"Painting Loveland’s Past : Historic Buildings and Sites"
Wednesdays; August 6, 13, 20, 27, 9 am – 12 noon

More information check out the museum's online newsletter (page 6). l We will meet at a different location in the Loveland, Colorado area with each class. I'm arranging some unique places that will inspire you.

Portrait Sessions

I've been attending the open studio portrait sessions at Wilds Art Center on Tuesday evenings. These are a couple of examples of what I do in a 3 hour portrait session with pastels.

I will be painting at the Lincoln Gallery in Loveland, Colorado on Friday, May 9 from 6-9pm for Loveland's 2nd Friday Artwalk. Come out and check out this towns' talent and free entertainment for the evening.
This new oil "Secluded" is 20" x 10". The setting is from Flathead Lake in Montana. I'm looking forward to going back there this summer for more inspiration from this beautiful place.
