Hip Pip Hurray!

VAC Studio
I just completed my 4-session class at TheVisual Arts Centre in Clarington, "Abstraction without Fear" with a bang!  Everyone had a blast and are all inspired to work on new ideas and create new masterpieces.  I thoroughly enjoyed the studio space and my time with all the students.  Watch out for the Fall schedule.... as I hope to say.. 'i'll be back!""  Visual Arts Centre is a non-profit organization that provide quality exhibition and educational programming to the community.  Visit them at http://www.vac.ca/

Classes are currently being scheduled at Currys, Whitby store.  http://www.currys.com/.  Today was a wrap for "Beyond Abstraction" where students practised 3 different approaches in abstracting a landscape.  2-days of non-stop thinking, planning, conceptualizing, execution and painting.  The time just flew by!!!  Curry's students are resilient, even with a tight sqeeze in the classroom, everyone put out an effort to make it work.  Congratulations to all today, since we had to deal with a sudden power outtage!  Luckily, the power came back in no time to start painting again!!

New classes scheduled are; Beginners Acrylic - May 26-27 and Bold Floral, June 9-10!

NEW NEW NEW!!!! Want to learn Chinese Brush Painting?????  Yup yup, I am teaching this class on June 16th at The Whitby Station Gallery, Henry Street, Whitby.  This 1-day class will be a great way to learn how to manipulate bamboo brushes on rice paper, working away with delicate strokes and adding that zen flavor.  Register now! http://www.whitbystationgallery.com/ 


MORE MORE!!! The Whitby Station Gallery's annual favorite, "Drawing for ART" was such a huge HUGE success!!  I donated 1 painting for this good cause and hope it has now found a new home to live in!  Click on the website link to see the artwork images.

Till then my friends...
Happy Painting!
