My upcoming lecture is one week away! I really appreciate the Atelier at Flowerfield for allowing me total freedom with this lecture and discussion. My last lecture about en plein air painting was really fun and I can't wait to present my new lecture next week.

Fall Update: Classes, Learning French and a New Self Portrait Drawing

10/5/2022

0 Comments

Classes have begun for 2022 and it feels great to get back in the classroom. I am teaching a drawing course along with a couple of watercolor classes. Teaching is always a huge honor and I love sharing new ideas with students.
  I am also currently teaching myself French which has been a fun challenge. It's a beautiful language and I am studying now because I'll be living in France for 3 months in 2023. I'll be painting and living at Claude Monet's estate thanks to a wonderful fellowship which I was awarded last year.
  My last update is to share a recent self portrait drawing. I have been painting more recently, but I'm also drawing a lot as well.
  Fall is my favorite time of year and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Self Portrait, 12" X 9", Pencil Heightened with White Charcoal on Toned Paper, 2022.
