I am happy to announce that I will be teaching drawing at this year’s 8th Annual Art at the Lake workshop in Park Rapids this coming September. I will be one of several artists teaching in the beautiful forest setting. Anne Kaese,Sandra Miles, Janet Flom are among the teaching staff at this popular workshop.

Studies, studies, studies
My little studies….this is what I love to do to prepare for something larger. These are about 5×7 inches and I’ve done about 10 of them. After making 10, I think I am ready to tackle the big paper. This dory is one small part of a larger picture. If I can get comfortable with my handling of the boat, water, and the reflections, then I can make some studies of other parts of the picture. I usually save one or two, the rest I send to friends on a card or sell as a “Little Original” card at Gallery 4…for a a little price of 8-10 bucks. Make some studies today…if they don’t turn out, make some more. Continue to find ways watercolor works and doesn’t work, in the same way Thomas Edison found a thousand ways the lightbulb didn’t work. It is important to start…the rest will come….
Great news to share!
I am happy to announce that I have recently been juried into Gallery 4 as their newest artist. Gallery 4 is located at 114 North Broadway in downtown Fargo. I am excited about this new venture as I will be involved in displaying my work there, along with spending 2-3 days a month working there to have direct contact with customers. The artists at Gallery 4 are a wonderful group of people and I am excited to be a part of this band of creative souls. We not only have a wonderful gallery space, but an additional gift shop, where I will be selling small, matted works and my “Little Originals”, which are hand-painted cards with a personal touch. Monday, December 1st is my first day as a Gallery 4 artist. The hours there are 11:00-5:00 daily. I hope to see you in December!
