Come visit our studio for Second Saturday Art Walk this Saturday from 6-10 pm (note that these are new, later, hours for Summer). I have some new work, and we'll try to be more entertaining than a military parade :). 515 22nd St S, behind the big bird mural.

Fun times and inspiration at the Oil Painters of America convention last week. We started with a wet paint competition where everyone had a chance to create and display a painting from life. It was sooo hot, but I got out there and painted a boat scene at Cortez.

Then, organized a dinner for a group of us who participate in her online Paint Club (why didn’t I take pictures?). It was so cool to meet her, and her painting in the national exhibition absolutely blew me away.

We had two days of inspiring demos and a sunset cruise to top it all off. I loved the intimacy of this convention and the opportunity to meet and connect with so many other artists, including real masters. It’s incredibly special and meaningful to spend time with other people in our little niche of representational oil painting.

The national juried show is amazing, and we are so fortunate to have it right here in Bradenton this year. Local friends, please go see it. I’ll post some photos in my stories this week.

Yesterday was my last weekly class of the season. It has been such a joy to spend Monday afternoons with this group. And what a year we’ve had!

When we started painting still life in my studio in November, was closed because of flooding from Helene. The storm had displaced three of my students, and another lost her cars. Collectively, we were a mess, and getting together to paint some little still lives seemed like a baby step back to normalcy.

By January we were at Suntan’s new location, painting both indoors and out. We studied palm trees, photographed and painted birds, practiced our color mixing and talked about clouds and edges

My students are kind and generous, insightful and funny, and all of them are talented artists. I wish I had taken more pictures! But here are a few.

The roseate spoonbill I spotted at a park recently has inspired several paintings. Pink birds are such a fun challenge! Here are some progress photos for a 30x30 that recently sold though gallery.

I had the pleasure of painting at a lovely house and garden yesterday with the Gulfport Plein Air painters. Found a nice shady spot and then the light shifted and I was standing in full sun 🌞 As expected, when all was said and done I was feeling a little wilted and my painting was feeling a little dark from having been painted in such bright light. Studio fixes to come…

On the last day of my all too short visit to Vancouver, I wandered around Stanley Park and did this gouache sketch of some spring blossoms. After living in Florida where we don’t really have spring, it’s glorious to see everything blooming and coming to life 🌷🌷

I had such fun talking to this group about composition!! They worked hard and had great insights! I can’t wait to see what everyone creates during Gulfport Plein Air Days this week! Thanks DRV Gallery for hosting this 😊

This little 6x12 painting of Clam Bayou went to today for the Gulfport Plein Air Painters group show. The show opens Friday April 4th from 5:30-8:30 pm. With live music and a vibrant array of local scenes, it should be a fun night!

Today’s adventure with the Gulfport Plein Air Painters. The weather was perfect, and I focused on the basics: big simple shapes and accurate color and value relationships. It’s always fun to paint with this group of artists!

Some sunny Florida oranges to kick off your week. This painting sold a few weeks ago gallery. 😎🍊 I’m always grateful to the collectors and galleries who make it possible to keep creating.

It’s that time of year!🎄. I’ve seen others’ paintings of shiny Christmas ornaments, so I wanted to give it a try. Such a fun challenge—I can’t wait to do another!
