Painting in Italy

I spent the month of June in Italy painting in watercolors and oils. I received a presidential fellowship from SCAD to do this. I also taught a watercolor workshop at Spannocchia, a green hotel and working organic farm in Tuscany. We painted on location and on the farm. I painted several of small studies so I could demonstrate but still leave have time to help students. The experience of being able to immerse myself in painting for a month was unforgettable.

I will be having a show of my work entitled Chasing the Light at the Art League of Hilton Head Gallery on Hilton Head in South Carolina. The show opens August 9 and goes through September 10. The opening reception is on Tuesday, August 11 from 5-7 pm.

Nice Painting! Like you, I am also a Zbukvich disciple. I found your blog looking for images of Fallbrook. I have recently signed up for his workshop there in the spring of 2011. All the best!

Thanks Frank,
I thoroughly enjoyed my workshop with Joseph Zbukvic. I do not paint like him but he taught me a lot about loosening up and considering the light. He is definitely one of the best!
