WELCOME SUMMER!

On the eve of this Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start of summer, I am really looking forward to some warmer weather. Here in the Northwest, it tends to be damp and chilly a lot longer than elsewhere. I grew up in the Midwest, where spring meant Tornado season, and I see that they are getting hit by a record number of storms this year, so I guess I shouldn't complain about a few drizzly days.

In June, I am starting a new series of classes both in the studio and at the local Community College here in Vancouver. These are always fun and I love watching the light bulb go off when one of my students has a breakthrough! Hopefully everyone who takes classes comes away with a new idea, more inspiration, or at least a better appreciation of their own talent and skill....for painting is a learned skill, like playing the piano! If you are a child prodigy, of course you will be brilliant, but that does not mean that many, many people who practice can't become excellent pianists. It is the same with painting. Practice gives you the tools to continue to improve your technique as well as giving you hours of entertainment! With that in mind...

I invite you to come paint with me!
