Although I have lived in Southern California for nearly 50 years, I still find it odd that we can have an 85 degree day in mid-December. While friends in other parts of America are shoveling snow and stoking their pot-bellied stoves, I was out painting at the Pt Mugu...

Tonight I begin again. Camarillo Figure Artists is the new group I will be hosting. It is a group of artists gathered to find our way through the evening while drawing or painting a figure with some snacks and perhaps a glass of wine in hand. In many ways this is my...

A few months back, I went with the California Art Club to the old Peter Strauss Ranch for a morning of painting. It was the first time in a long time that I had made the time to go out with them. Well, I did a painting that I was not really thrilled with, but over the...
