Landscapes in Oils and Pastels

I find great pleasure in the energy and subtle beauty found in the heartland. Using rich, calligraphic strokes of color I chronicle the landscape found between the interstates and highways, those quiet fields, towns and shady corners that collect private thoughts and insects humming.

2010 Class Schedule

Learning about art should be an enjoyable experience.  I work hard at having fun while sharing the skills I've developed over the years.  My goal is to give my students useful information while allowing for experimentation and personal development.  These classes are great for beginners and for those with some experience.

Generally, my workshops begin with a demonstration, so students sit back and relax while I sweat!  I share the why's and hows of making decisions regarding color, value, depth and texture. The next step is for students to work at their easels, with me sharing encouragement and support.  An enjoyable show-and-tell at the end wraps up an interesting, fun experience.

Join me for a fresh start or a deeper painting experience.

 Pastels - March 20-21, Lux Center for the Arts, Lincoln, Ne. - This workshop will run from 12pm - 4pm both Saturday and Sunday. Two short classes will keep us eager and ready to learn about this exciting medium. Register by contacting Lux Center for the Arts at 402-466-8692 or register online.
