Masterworks in Miniature

"Cool Water"
8" x 10"
oil on Linen
Sold

I was invited to participate in Master Works in Miniature,
held annually at Gallery One, Mentor OH. This is one of the paintings I am sending. I found out that they have used it on the brochure to promote the show! I can’t wait to see it!

Now in its 18th big year, Masterworks features paintings by some of my favorite artist, so it is quite an honor to participate! The show will run from March 6to March 21. All work will be available through submitting ‘intent-to-purchase’ forms. Such “intents” can be filed in person at Gallery One where all of the works will be on exhibit until Saturday, March 21. Intents can be filed by mail or over the web at www.galleryone.com where the entire collection can be viewed once the show opens. Winners of purchase rights will be drawn at the close of the event.

Workshop at Elder Ridge Studios





Elder Ridge Studios - Wow! What a fantastic concept.

A beautiful home in the North Georgia mountains with a studio for artists to learn and share ideas. Anita Elder, the owner of this delightfully pleasant studio, was a most gracious host to me and my students just this past weekend as I offered instruction in intermediate oil painting.

After an intense day of study on Friday, we ended with a wine and cheese party that night. Raring to go Saturday morning, we began again and spent many wonderful hours creating some amazing quality work. Our breaks were as creative as our class, as we gathered round the table to discuss artisitic techniques and chow down on Anita's delicious vegetable beef soup.

The whole experience was such a success, as we were wrapping up, Anita and I immediately 'inked in' our next event - May 21-23. The class will be a plein air workshop painting in several private locations across the North Georgia mountains.
