Summer 2010
Hi Everyone!
Thanks for being patient with me this summer. I closed my New Iberia studio this summer to concentrate on painting and exhibits. to see my latest exhibition contact Peggy Domingue at Darnall, Sikes, Gardes & Frederick. The CPA Firm is located in the new IBERIABANK building on the corner of Kaliste Saloom and Camelia Blvd in Lafayette, LA you can view the information online at this link www.dsfcpas.com just click on the"Art for All Seasons" then click on my name, Gwen Voorhies for the artists statement.
The show will be up from July until the end of September so go by and take a look. I have about 40 landscapes and still lifes....you can see some of them on my facebook page.
I have included some of the photos from the Opelousas Fiddlemania project I worked on this spring and as you can see Mr. Hadley Castile and his grand daughter Sarah Jayde were kind enough to pose with me for the photo! The fiddles are currently on display I believe until the end of August and the project gave me a chance to start working on my block prints which were published in the 2010 Communtiy Foundation of Acadiana Annual report. I was chosen as the featured artist! You can view the annual report on their web site www.cfacadiana.org

The remaining $25.00 is due the first day of class. Class starts at 9:30am and runs until 3:30pm. We will have a short break for lunch .so bring a salad or a sandwiches Hope you can make it, Mixing color properly will save you time and money and this is one aspect of art that many artists do not understand, even if they have been painting for years!
Learn how to keep your paint color mixtures clear and strong as well as how to control the mud so many artists tend to lose control of.
AND remember Ten dollars of your fee helps the LAA provide the outstanding services they have been providing for over 50 years.

Hi everyone!
I just returned from my trip to California and I have some pictures from the trip to post. I thought I would update my class info as well.
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.
New Iberia Classes
On Mondays I teach in New Iberia at 108 Church Alley. This is directly across from St. Peter's Church on HWY 182.
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.
Lafayette Classes:
On Wed and Thursdays I teach in Lafayette at the new Lafayette Art Association Building located at 1008 East St. Mary Blvd.
Adult classes are from 9:15-11:45 on Wed. and 12:30-3:00 on Wed and Thursday. ($20. a lesson payable by the month)
On Wed evening from 4-6:00pm I have a class for teens and young adults and the fee is $18.00 a class payable by the month. You are responsible for your own supplies unless indicated otherwise.
Thursday morning is reserved for private lessons.($40. a lesson for 11/2 hours)
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!
