Finally had a little time...

…to wrap up this studio painting of Argentonnay in France (Home of Studio Escalier, where I’ll be teaching figure drawing and painting again this Autumn). The project was an opportunity for me to celebrate a place that I have deep reverence for, and to start producing more ambitious studio work. Speaking of which… peering out from behind the homasote is another project that I’m eager to get back to.

Beyond the studio walls, I’m eyeing the week of October 28-Nov 1 as potential dates for the next Plein Air Painting workshop (in and around Santa Fe). I’ll do my best to make that official and to get registration up on the website ASAP.

Beyond DRILLS | Drawing & Painting Workshops in 2024/25

After the DRILLS & Alla Prima workshops in May, I’m really looking forward to getting back over to France for a couple more workshops with Studio Escalier (follow the links for more info & registration):

2024 Summer in Argenton | Three Weeks of Figure Drawing
August 8 - 31

2024 Autumn Intensive | Six Weeks of Figure Painting

Beyond that, I’m hoping to start enrolling for another three week January Figure Painting workshop at The Ryder Studio in Santa Fe NM a bit sooner this year (Dates, tentatively Jan 6 - 24 …Registration Coming soon!)

(…and visit the 2024/25 calendar for more opportunities)

Another Summer

Summer has come and gone - not quite sure where it went?

It feels like I've done a lot, but I don't have much to show for it.  Fortunately, my creative momentum continued through months of teaching in France.  I want to thank all my students and friends, from both Argenton Chateau & Paris, for a great experience this summer while working with Studio Escalier.

In the meantime, I have been cultivating a number of ideas, so I'll be pursuing their physical/visual manifestation in the coming months at NYAA.

I'm eager to get back into the studio!

Time Flies

The first year at NYAA just flew by...  I'm quite excited for round two.

In the meantime, there is still one seat available for the second section of my Studio Escalier | Summer in Paris figure drawing workshop (July 24 - August 12).  Details here!
