As winter settles in, it's time to get comfortable in the studio and plan some get-aways to warmer climes. There are several new workshops planned for this year; I look forward to seeing you soon.

| Wisconsin Primaries 28" x 40" $24,000 |
This January marks my seventeenth year painting this valley.
The locals know my ancient red Chrysler Fifth Avenue and wave as they go by. Within these three or four square miles I always find something to connect with. The folks are kind but not familiar which allows me to be present yet almost invisible at the same time.
Not a visitor but not a guest -- a curious anonymity.
I feel like a ghost watching and recording, yet removed from the reality unfolding in front of me.
This magic space I believe allows me a private window -- a privileged glimpse if I'm lucky, to a more internal, unguarded view.
Vuillard and Morandi found a universe in the most intimate spaces: humble, quiet subjects which became vehicles to access the soul.
20 years ago if someone had told me I'd find that on the corners of county roads N and Q in Wisconsin, I would have said they were crazy.

2016 Spring Studio Classes
|
|
|
Mount Kisco, NY 7-Day Workshop
The Big Idea:
Creating a Large Studio Painting
Monday, March 14th - Sunday, March 20th, 2016
|
All individuality and personality in a work of art comes from Subjective Choice Making -- not merely copying what is before us.
You will have seven days to work out those choices while creating a large painting in the studio -- unhurried and thoughtful.
We will be utilizing reference material (Field sketches, Drawings and/or Photos) and will deal with Composition, Distillation & Integration of Forms and Clarifying your personal vision.
You can expect frequent lectures, demos when necessary and a great deal of personal attention.
This is your chance to dig deep and expand your possibilities.
Enrollment is limited so don't wait to secure a spot.
All levels Welcome.
Cost: $1,200
