Currently On The Easel 16x20 Pastel


Hi Folks - I started this one a little over a week ago.  It's not quite complete but getting close and it has been awhile since my last post so I thought it was time to give an update.  The location for this painting is the central coast of California near Pismo Beach.

Other Business:
On August 11th I will be teaching a one day pastel workshop at the Cannery Row Studios in Redondo Beach. Space is limited to 12 students so be sure to sign up early. Please contact Sue Kuuskmae if you are interested.
Her email is kuuskmae@verizon.net;

On August 18th I will once again be participating in The Los Olivos Quick Draw. Los Olivos is a small picturesque town located in the Santa Ynez valley, not far from Solvang.

It is a wonderful event to watch and certainly the fastest painting I do all year.

Attig Ranch Paint-Out


I recently returned from a paint-out with some talented artists from the Southern California Pastel Society. The location was at The Attig Ranch in Central California. It was hosted by artist and
 good friend Lynn Attig. This was time well spent in a beautiful and undisturbed location. A perfect place to gain a fresh perspective and renew one's spirit. Thank You Lynn!
I wish for you all a Happy Fourth Of July.
