New Instructional Magazines

I just published this new instructional magazine, and I am really happy with the way it came out.
  I have been teaching classes and doing demonstrations based on the concepts in this book for a year now.
SPLAT!!! makes me really happy because it incorporates careful planning with fresh playful brush technique.

The magazine is affordable and easy to understand.  I really hope my students and past students pick up a copy.


I published "Tools for Painting Landscapes last spring.  It is based on class noted I took during a William Reese Workshop I attended in 1994.

The next magazines, (coming Soon) will be on creating color harmony, perspective, and values and light.
  I'll keep you posted.

I've Been Working on a New Book

Life sometimes gets in the way of plans...

this winter, it was two bouts of pneumonia,

 a six week stint babysitting my lovely toddler grandson, 

taxes, teaching classes...

and a broken arm.

But then, somehow, I managed to finish 

 this little book.

Want to purchase this book?

I painted 16 illustrations and wrote the story for my grandson's second birthday.

He loves looking at the original paintings with me while I tell the story.

He gets so adorably worried when the Raccoon runs home with sticky hands.

There are a lot more stories inside my head waiting to be told and painted.

This is the second.

I hope life gives me a little bit more of an opening to get them done.
