We will learn to extend our creative vision and shape the reality around us! A nice antidote to all the commercial riot of cacophonous colour! You will need a digital SLR and if shooting in manual for the first time - or even if you are unfamiliar with changing settings - tell me what brand and model of camera you have. Lenses - a wide angle is good, but anything is fine. The main thing is to see things in a new and exciting way! This has been a popular theme in the past so jump onboard and get inspiration for taking less than tacky Christmas portraits!

Title or Location: "The Red Line Home"
This oil on canvas was created using an old masters approach to oil painting.? Its first thoroughly rendered as an under painting using only raw umber. The final reflects several layers of glazing or varnishing in between the stages to add depth for the viewer. Local transparent color is then added, another layer of varnish, then the artist begins the actual painting process using opaque colors adding highlights and shadows. This approach allows the viewer to look into the painting, rather than

Title or Location: LAST COFFEE IN MY AUTUMN GARDEN
I live in Edmond. My house is small and so is my backyard. My favorite spot is the patio where I enjoy my first cup of coffee in the morning.I love cats, had quite a few over the years, and presently have two. My backyard and the various critters that visit are my constant source of inspiration. The painting truly depicts the last cup of coffee in the garden. Cold weather set in but in Spring I was out there again.Most of my paintings feature a cat and some part of my backyard.
