I know it's been a while since I posted. I have been extremely busy...mostly in a good way. But occasionally in an annoying way (do the words "income tax" convey anything?). But I digress...

 

I've been painting a lot - mostly palette knife landscapes. I'm slightly obsessed, it seems. I find it very freeing...I really feel like an artist when I'm slinging a palette knife with abandon. Maybe it's somewhat like a security guard waving an AK47 around...or a doctor with a new medicine which will cure your athlete's foot, but may possibly destroy you liver. Or maybe the Olsen twins with a brand new bottle of Ipecac. I'm sorry...that was truly tasteless. It seems that blogging has a similar effect, in that once I start typing, I begin to fancy myself a writer...

 

Anyway...for anyone interested, I'm offering a two-day workshop on Monday and Tuesday, May 13th and 14th. We will be exploring creative ways to incorporate palette knife techniques into landscape painting. As always...you'll work hard and learn a lot, but never at the expense of a good time. Hope to see some of you there! Scalpel in hand...ready to dig in...
