Very excited about my new series of painting. The first one is done, shown here. I used copper leafing around the outside of the painting. Really liked the effect. Also did sketches of upcoming work. I was asked to make them in to trading cards, which I did. They are signed and come in a plastic sleeve They are available to order through the website page at just $1 each. http://bit.ly/132bkhm

Moved my art classes from Fallbrook to Vista, to the ArtBeat on Main Street, classes are monday, wednesday over there. Plein Air still on Thursdays and in Murrieta on Fridays. schedule is on my classes page of the website.
Brazen Arts in Fallbrook had their abstracts art show opening on June 1st. Some really nice work. Be sure to put this gallery on your schedule for every first saturday when they open their new art show.
Was asked to be one of the judge's at the San Diego county fair in Del Mar. over 1300 entries had to be juried down to almost half of that. It was alot of work but the resulting show is worth seeing. many great works. Reception was June 6 but the show and fair run until July 4.
Was one of the judges at the Idyllwild plein air festival the weekend of june 7-9. Not many artists this year, but there were some gems created.
Lecturing in Idyllwild on June 13 to discuss plein air painting for their art education lecture series. Thanks to the Living Room Gallery for having me back again this year.
Was selected to be a part of the Idyllwild public works art project. We are painting on aluminum sculptures of deer.
Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook's art by the inch fundraiser opening is June 22nd. come out and purchase a painting that you pick out from the wall of art. Thanks to the Brandon for inviting me to paint a section of the wall.
Thank you to the Art Beat on Main Street Gallery in Vista for allowing me to be their featured artist in May. The opening reception will be on May 18th. Looking forward to meeting many of the artists from the gallery and all the art supporters in and around Vista. http://artbeatonmainstreet.com/special-up-coming-events/
Excited to announce a new NEW CLASS on Wednesday's starting May 1 from 3p-6p at Art Beat on Main Street in Vista. http://artbeatonmainstreet.com/
This class is open to all mediums and levels.
I still have my other classes but this one was a good location for those in North San Diego county and the coastline to not have to travel inland to Fallbrook.
Thanks to Kait, Chris and Arthur at Art Beat on Main Street for being so open and enthusiastic to the idea of having me teach a class there. Contact Kait at the gallery if you are interested in coming to the class. You are welcome to come and audit a class to see if you'd like to come back.
Excited and grateful to have been selected to have a one man show at Ballast Point Gallery in Liberty Station on Point Loma in San Diego. Over 20 of my latest paintings will be on display for the month of April. www.ballastpointgallery.com The opening reception is tonight, April 5 from 5p-8p. Looking forward to talking art with you.
The gallery is great, the people are superb. Thanks to Linda, JoAnn and Chuck at the Ballast Point Gallery for letting me come down and paint for the first Fridays gallery walk at Liberty Station. A fun time was had by all. The piece I painted at the demonstration will be one of my new works at my one man show at the gallery during the month of April. www.ballastpointgallery.com.
I had the honor of judging this year's member show for the San Diego Chapter of the Portrait Society. Though it was a small show, there were many good pieces entered.
If you have a chance to see the show, which is at the Buckman Gallery on Ray Street in San Diego, you should go. Many shy away from painting portraits but these brave artists met the challenge head on and succeeded.
Congratulations to all the winners and to all that entered. A special thank you to Renee Corwin and her tireless crew of volunteers that made this show possible and my job an easy one.
I have two demos that I'll be doing in September. On Thursday Sept 13, I will be doing the demo for the San Diego Portrait Society. On Tuesday, September 18th, I'll be at the Temecula Valley Art League's monthly meeting doing the demo after their meeting. Hope to see you at one or both. Let me know if you'll be there.
