It’s always nice to have a fresh start, and that’s what the new year feels like to me. I’m taking down the Christmas stuff today and cleaning up.
Soon I’ll start working on my end of the year bookwork… yuck!
I’ll also be starting drawings for new paintings for my show in the Bay Area
And… filling my schedule with more classes
I’ll have a new painting for you to see within a couple of days. In the meantime, here’s some photos from my Christmas in Jackson, CA
Some of these photos were taken by my sister, Sue Bentley, and a couple were taken by me. Hope your holidays were happy ones, and that you’re getting ready for a fresh new year.

I’m returning to Markleeville, Ca for another workshop in November.
Our focus will be portraits and animals, your choice. Anything from children to adults, (close-up or distant) to a favorite animal (wild or domestic) is fine. Even a fantasy painting would be fine like my mermaid. Come prepared with photo references. You may use magazine or personal photos.
During the 3 days you’ll learn my glazing methods and color palette. I’ll demonstrate painting eyes, hair/fur, clothing and backgrounds.
Markleeville is a beautiful spot in the foothills of the Eastern Sierra. You’ll have a wonderful time meeting new artist friends, enjoying beautiful scenery, learning and painting.
Hope you can make it!
Workshop dates: November 10 – 12 (Thursday – Saturday)
Class times: 10 am – 4 pm
Class fee: $165

I just wandered over to Winsor & Newton’s website and found a wealth of information about their watercolours, which I have been using and loving for years. Here’s the site link: http://www.winsornewton.com/resource-centre
So, now when you have questions about the various colors available and properties as well as chemical make-up of types of color you will know how to get wonderful info quickly and easily. Enjoy!
