Come and see me at the Co-op!

Seem to be getting busier and busier. I have 3 drawings (spatials) and one sculpture -Touch -in the new Southwest Florida Arts Council Co-op Gallery in Coconut Point mall. Come and find us - next to Panera, so you can grap a cup of coffee as well. This gallery is huge and well lighted and full of paintings, sculpture, jewelry by the area's best artists, many of whom will be familiar to you as showing in the Promenade. Speaking of which we are still there! The new owner is painting and beautifying the place and we artists have been told we will be there, probably through the season.

I am also teaching at the Bonita Art League - a 5 week drawing course in January (starting 10th) and again in February, starting 19th. I show how to draw from your own photos and they can be of anything you suggest - portraits, pet portraits, local scenes, etc. I will demonstrate and then coach you with your own drawing. Very hands-on. Last year everyone said they had a good time and learned a few things and I was pleased with their results.

While still producing my ink and color pencil spatial drawings I have recently gone back to my first love, graphite, and here are some examples taken from photos I took in one of my very favorite places, Santa Fe. What a place for artists, charming town full of great galleries.
