What Else I Did On My Summer Vacation

Here's week #2 of my Paint Like A Venetian Classes.  From El Paso came Bruce King and Evelyn Posey.  Bruce is an experienced Acrylic Artist and Evelyn was painting for the first time EVER!  Are these great or what!?  I was so proud of them...and me because I had never taught this class in Acrylics before.  It turned out well.

If you're interested in taking Art Classes in the beautiful mountains of Cloudcroft, New Mexico, please send me a note.  We're currently building a new Garage/Art Studio on the lot we bought next door, and I think it might make a great classroom.

The paintings I worked on is one I did for Donna and for our Master Bedroom at the cabin.

What I Did On My summer Vacation!

It's been a while since I added to my Blog, and that's about to change.  You see it's been the greatest summer here in Cloudcroft.

We started the summer with two great classes.  Here's the first class of the summer and the beautiful paintings my students did in the 5 Day classes.  Anne Hines and Jana Voigy, both from Dallas, were great studnets.  They're both experienced artists trying things outside their comfort zones.  I think they did great.

I started one of my Cowboys and Cowgirls paintings this week.
