CURRENTLY PERCOLATING

Spring 2026 - I am working on developing video demos and instruction.

Painting and teaching are the easy parts. Getting a handle on all the technology is not (for me). Please send me an email with "Me First" in the subject line. I'll let you be the first to know when something good is off the assembly line. I'll add a link to this page too for more info once available.

 

Thank you for visiting! I appreciate your being here. There's a lot to explore by going to my main site -- just click home. Below is easy access to the paintings included in PleinAir Magazine's February/March 2026 Issue
