Painting Progress

Making a little progress on this painting.
I am just about ready to cover all of this
first stage with masking fluid, that seals
off this part, and keeps water from touching
it. Then I will wet the whole painting, and
add the softer, more blurry background.
Then, I will remove the mask, and finish up
with some details.

Art Camp:
Daniel, (the current Art teacher at the
Middle School, and a former student),
is teaching an art camp at the
gallery this week. They have been really
good. He is doing pencil drawing, watercolor
painting, and origami, as well as a little Art
History thrown in. They will finish up tomorrow,
and I will try to get some pictures of them
and their artwork.

"Drawn to Water"
I am still hanging part of the new collection
in the gallery. It is shaping up, and I have most
of the main pieces in place. Will try to post
pics of that too.

Private Lessons:
I am currently doing some private lessons for
children or adults, age 10 and up. If you are
interested, just call or email me. We can set
up something for the fall.
