New Workshop Date

Next class at The Sharon Art Center is scheduled for June 5, 2010. The subject is Painting Nature in Watercolor. It is a workshop version of the longer class that is offered at E.W. Poore in Manchester (details in previous blog). We will be concentrating on the form, colors and textures of fruits and vegetables, using traditional watercolor techniques to render unconventional botanical subjects and compositions. A fun way to sharpen your skills and use your creativity. To register call the Sharon Arts Center, which is located near Peterborough, NH, 603-924-7256 or email them at www.sharonarts.org.

My painting of the bridge at Sligachan, Isle of Skye, Scotland, which appears at the top of the previous blog, has been chosen for the cover of the program for the Indoor Highland Games, to be held in Concord NH at the NH Technical Institute on April 10, 2010. Although in the past this has primarily been a music (bagpipes) and highland dancing event, the promoters want to bring more of the community at large into this venue, especially any related arts. I'll be there exhibiting, signing programs , and hopefully selling my art work that Saturday. The painting above is of Glencoe, in the Scottish highlands, from my last visit.
