A Year of Little Gems
What an exciting year it's been! Looking back, there have been many
highlights, including quite a few exciting plein-air competitions at
home and further afield, many wonderful opportunities to show my work,
monthly workshops in my studio and beyond, and a memorable trip to
paint the majestic Yosemite National Park.
A practice I started last year and continued throughout this year is
offering my small, plein-air sketches at very affordable prices. I want
everyone to have the chance to own a little "gem" of a painting, and
it's been an amazing process to connect with so many new collectors
through these small works. If you're interested in seeing more of these

me company, comforts and inspires."

Demo Re-Do
One more highlight from 2018... The Pastel Society of the West Coast
held their first Sonoma and Napa Counties Regional Meeting at my studio
back in October, and they asked me to do a demo. I decided it would be
fun to show my fellow artists how older paintings can be re-worked with
fresh ideas. I took the "before" painting shown here, popped it out of
its frame, and went to work at the meeting. I also put in a session or
two later, when I was alone in my studio without the pressure of an
audience. I'm quite surprised at the difference between the two stages
of the same painting of Martin's Beach.
