Hi everyone!

First the Class INFO:
Classes are small and tailored to each individuals needs. We work from 2 D reference material as well as 3 D objects. Occasionally I will ask the class to work on a project together but  most of the time I prefer for students to work on something individually.

The childrens class starts at 4 and continues until 5:30 The cost is $20.  a class and it is payable by the month , the fee includes supplies. I also have and evening class which begins at 6 and runs until 8:00pm this two hour class is $18.00 a class payablae by the month.

Thursday afternoon from 4:00- 5:30 I have a childrens class ages 6-12 The fee is $20.  a class payable by the month. Supplies are included.

Recent Work
Now for the recent paintings. The first was painted for the most part " en plein air" at the Leo Carillo Ranch in Carlsbad California.  As always, it was a difficult subject to paint in a few hours but I think it turned out fairly well. I do need to crop the image. Please be patient, I am still learning!


The next painting was painted en plein air at the lookout point above Dana Paint Harbor in California. Again, this was a difficult subject.
The last painting was created alla prima from a reference photo I took in Laguana Beach ,CA.
I have also included a pic of me sketching on the beach.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my new work! Keep painting!
