We Have a Winner!

Congratulations to Lance Jeschke of South Dakota for winning my painting in the Facebook contest! This was fun, and I'll probably give away another painting to a fan very soon - so keep watching my Facebook page for updates!

This is a photo of Betsy and Judy, a couple of artists from Kennett Square who attended my watercolor workshop yesterday. We all had a great time, and I'm looking forward to one more workshop before I take my break for the holidays.

The next workshop in my Kennett Square Studio is a Social Media workshop on December 1st. Participants will learn how to successfully promote their business on Twitter, Facebook, g+, Linked In, and other sites. This one is limited to 10 people, so don't wait to sign up!

Painting en Plein Air

I had a fabulous time painting in the Plein Air Brandywine Valley, and finished four oil paintings and three watercolors during the week long event. Each day, the artists had a choice of 3 or 4 locations to paint, and all of them were inspiring. About 75 artists participated in this prestigious juried competition, and at the end of the week the paintings were all exhibited at the Tatnall School in Wilmington. Over $9,000 in awrds were distributed, and the art sales totalled over $15,000.



12x16 Watercolor of the Brandywine River

 The first day was at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford. I managed to quickly paint this 12x16 watercolor of the river before the rain forced me to end the day early.

Day 3 I painted at the Hagley Museum, but I didn't like either of the two paintings I did in the morning so in the afternoon I wiped them off and painted these two 5x8 oils of Winterthur.

And on the last day, I went to the riverfront in downtown Wilmington, and painted these two oils of the Wilmington skyline.
