Upcoming Workshops
This fall I will be giving 4 workshops at the Spruill Arts Center.
Collage Workshop: Layer by Layer Exploring the Art of Collage
2 sessions: Sat., Sun. 10 AM -4 PM 10/17 - 10/18/2009
The creative possiblities of working with collage are infinite. You will learn many ways of designing your papers and using other materials to enhance your collages. No other medium will give you such a variety of exciting alternatives. We will be designing color on tissue paper, encasing objects between two layers of tissue, using paint to alter color, connecting items with drawn lines, adhering objects with beeswax and giving mat board the look of metal. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Collage is a freeing and joyful way to express yourself.

Abstract Mixed Media
Thursdays 10:30 AM - 1 PM 9/24 - 10/29/2009
Anybody can enjoy experimenting with abstract art. It does not matter if you have never been able to master perspective or paint a portrait. So what exactly is abstract painting? It may be inspired by themes in the outside world, interesting patterns or by nature itself. Abstract painting will encourage you to try out colors, play with shapes and turn those doodles into works of art. Unlock your imagination with experimental techniques. You will be able to revitalize your work almost immediately. For the beginner and the intermediate artist. You will learn how to face the blank page, how to do acrylic skins for your paintings and how to achieve many forms of textures. Supply list available at www.spruillarts.org.

Welcome to my blog
I've titled it "Artistic Insights" - it's a broad title. I want to include not only items regarding visual art, but also about the artistic life of an artist.
Basically we are all artists, whether we paint or not. We are artists of our lives. We color it the way we see it - right or wrong, the choices we make and live by. One thing you should remember, we can always repot ourselves by making other choices. Age has no factor in our lives. Many people have achieved their goals later in life. It is a constant and never-ending journey.
Note: Due to recent inquiries about the painting in this post, I am pleased to tell you prints will be available soon.
