(catching up) Plein Air Workshop - Residency - ArtCar

While here in Mexico City, I am taking this opportunity to catch up on a few artful events that occured this Spring in the thick of School and everything else……

PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP

I ran a plein air painting workshop through Vashon Center for the Arts on two Saturdays, 22nd and 29th of April, 2023. Eight students of all levels participated. I think we were all surprised at the level that was achieved. I wish I had pictures, but I was too busy running all over the place. Dockton park is a fantastic place for plein air painting. I may do another workshop series in the fall.

RESIDENCY AT THE LODGE AT ST. EDWARD PARK

The 2nd Annual! It was only one weekend (instead of three weekends like last Spring) but I made the best of it by doing a smaller version of the Grand Hallway Gallery….(if anyone wants me to finish this, let me know), and some live watercolor portraits at the opening of my Eurpoean Travelogue Show at teh Lodge. I think it appropriate that the Travelogue show is …traveling.

ART CAR!

I painted this flat profile cutout of a ‘57 Chevy in our livingroom for my daughter Louisa’s debut burlesque perfromance at Seattle Moisture Festival Burlesque Show. She hit it out of the Park! (And the car looked preetty good too). I was cranky when painting it, because I rarely do set painting anymore. It’s a whole different technique than oils, but once you know how to ride a bike….
