Every summer for the least 40 years I have conducted painting workshops in Maine. In 1978 I was totally committed to watercolor and all that goes with being a “watercolorist”. In 1976 I attended a workshop with Edgar Whitney. This was my first painting workshop and consequently I followed Ed’s routine. Each day there was a panting demonstration, painting time, and critique, a full day for sure.

In 2018 my Maine workshop is very different with 2 group critiques a week, Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon, and private consultations all day. Demonstrations as need dictates some group and others private.

In the early days of my teaching there was not a great deal of variety in the work produced. Design ruled with only a minor bow to unique content.
Todays students take chances, think independently, seek creativity, and to have their work to be unlike their peers.

I love everything about painting. I love feeling the paint, seeing a rich color spread under my brush onto a surface, and the play between colors coming together. I love watching my idea take form until a painting finally says “it” and I am surprised and delighted every time. I love sharing my art and knowing that someone is moved by it.
