Well my grades are in so I have a few weeks off to work. I have a show coming up at Walnut Gallery and I have much to do to prep for that show. I have four new pieces started and I’m looking forward to finishing them. I’m teaching in Italy again this summer so I’m “losing” six weeks of work. I’ll be painting in Rome of course but I’m taking the family this year so this time around I may not get as much as painting time as last year.
I’m looking forward to doing some plein air work in oil. Last year I taught a class in watercolor last summer but this year I’ll be teaching oil. I’m looking into purchasing a new travel easel. I’ve been to cheap to buy one but I’m trying to arrange the purchase of a few of them for my class.
The image is of me doing an impromptu lecture on the history of pigments in and art supply store in Rome.
