Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year from Marcel and I

LeisurePainterJanuary2 582706   I was very pleased when Leisure Painter Magazine picked up my article on “Copy habitats not paintings” and a plein air still life demonstration I provided. The magazine was recommended to me by one of my students. It is a very fine publication. I was very impressed with the teaching in this magazine.

My article discusses some very important painters and the need to emulate their good habits that created their masterful paintings. Then a plein air still life to capture radiant light. I painted with painting knives, and it discusses my process.
