Save the date! Hope you can join me on April 18 from 6-8pm for the opening reception of the latest Tennessee Watercolor Society Exhibition; 2 of my paintings will be on view, including my first tondo! It’s an interesting challenge to paint in the round, and this handmade paper from Twinrocker has such beautiful feathered deckles. There’s a partial preview in the photo above, but you’ll have to wait until the 18th to see the whole painting! The exhibition will be in the office of Bob Parks Realty in The Hill Center shopping complex in Green Hills, 4025 Hillsboro Pike, in Nashville. Hope to see you there!

Amazing things happen when you combine water and color and paper, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to share some of my techniques in a special 3-day workshop at Plaza on March 29, 30, & 31! Abstract Adventures in Water Media is sponsored by the Tennessee Watercolor Society. It’s a very welcoming group, and the Nashville chapter typically has several shows and socials every year.

Looking for a weekly class? There are still a few spots left in my Mixed Media Spring Session. It’s 8-weeks of personal instruction, and we start on Thursday, March 7 at Plaza.

Escape from Winter with watercolor! We had a great time at the sold-out Watercolor Basics workshop last weekend, and you have 2 more opportunities to come paint with me in February. Time’s almost up to join us on Tuesday nights for Mixed Media: Watercolor + Ink at Watkins College of Art; this 9-week class is great for all skill levels, so sign up before registration closes on Monday!

 

If you’d rather take a one-day workshop, join us for Creating Watercolor Textures on February 16 at Plaza; all supplies are included!

I’ll be adding the Spring classes to my website soon, so here’s a sneak preview: I’m especially excited to be offering 2 versions of The Secret Side of Books, including a 2-day one at Watkins on March 9 & 10. We’ll have fun making tunnel books and other structures with a secret side, so you won’t want to miss this one!
