“Summer Harvest” c2007 Saturday, June 27…

A great day at the San Joaquin County Fair.  I met and talked to lots of people, looked at the art show and did a watercolor demonstration.  Also, I won Best of Show in the fine art competition.

Kinsburg Demo 2009

My sincere thanks to all the members of the Kingsburg Art Center for hosting my watercolor demonstration.  It was nice to meet all of you.  I’m looking forward to a return visit.

This weekend is the San Joaquin County Fair in Stockton, Ca.  I’m showing some of my work there in the fine art competition.  And, on Saturday, from Noon to 4:00 pm I’ll be demonstrating in watercolor.  Come by and say Hi!  For info go to www.sanjoaquinfair.com

Watercolor Artists of Sonoma County (www.wascoart.org) was my host in a week long workshop in March, 2009.  For the first day I did a “follow along” portrait class.  There was a large enthusiastic group working that day.  The rest of the week it was “paint your own portrait”.  The individuality expressed was wonderful to see, from expressionism, to realism, to whimsy.  I enjoyed meeting and working with the artists and look forward to another visit to the beautiful Sonoma hills.
