Fee: $10

STILL LIFE PAINTING / 2-DAY SESSION with optional instruction

These sessions will have a 2-day set up where the artists can leave their easel and paints. Instruction is available. I’m there to help with any advice or questions. We will talk about color, value, drawing, painting materials and technique. But more important, through still life, how to find your own unique artistic voice. Still life painting can be far more exciting and a means of expression than a dull classroom exercise. Or, if you prefer to just come and paint the still life with no instruction, that’s cool too!

Mondays & Tuesdays, 6:30 – 9:30

Fee: $15 per session

All levels welcome. Please email or call the studio for more info, directions and to reserve a spot. Space is limited.

Emily and I will have new paintings hanging in the main room at Travis Gallery this spring. I think hanging together will show how much we’ve influenced each other’s work, although the end results are miles apart. I love the way she applies paint. So free and exciting. Her colors are atmospheric and beautiful. Emily says that watching me paint the Bucks County landscape en plein-air has made her consider using her surroundings as a starting point for her abstracts. The design, colors and different seasons are endless sources of material for her. Check out the new work at Travis. 6089 Lower York Road, New Hope, PA.
