Something Really New

After 30 years of painting and teaching, I am discovering a new way of teaching and reaching out to people. Technology. I am not certain, given all my time constraints and commitments, how often I will be able to keep up with this blog, but I will be trying.

This past year has been emotionally and mentally challenging. I became recharged during July while taking a painting workshop in Stockton, NJ. The group of people I met were incredible. We actually spent one afternoon working through lunch. However, we decided to pattern the afternoon after Winston Churchill. In Newsweek it was noted that Churchill loved to paint as his release. No matter where he traveled or how busy his day, he would end his day with a cigar, a glass of champagne, and paint a picture of his locale. We spent the afternoon eating, sampling wines from Phillips Fine Wines and painted (more than any other day!).
