My new studio school, The Conservatory For Classical Art has been open since May! Enrollment is going well - steady and growing. Our first workshop with Grand Central Academy instructor, Scott Waddell was a huge success. We had 14 students. The workshop was 5 intensive days on Scott's techniques for painting a portrait in oil. Our next workshops include Florence Academy instructor, Nicholas Enevoldsen who will be teaching a six week class on painting the portrait with charcoal, Dan Robinson of Cave Creek, AZ, will teach The Principles of Painting Form, and Grand Central Academy instructor, Douglas Flynt, will be teaching a 5 day workshop on Painting the Figure. There is a lot going on here! Please visit the website to take a look: www.theconservatoryforclassicalart.org We are very excited about the possibilities for this school! Thanks to all who have offered support and encouragement and who have been and become students of The Conservatory!! There is more to come! |

THUNDERHEAD
"Thunderhead"
Pastel on Paper
5X7
I'm getting ready for FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS in Oklahoma City and I've just finished this piece for the show. The cloud is made up of about 15 layers of soft pastel colors. It took a little while to achieve the illusion of volume ~ but I'm satisfied with the result.
