This blog is for discussions on Art and Design in support of students and buyers of Art . A way to have some fun with my home studio and on-line students and anyone who cares about Art History and Current Events. Also for artists to share your recent shows and events and thoughts about your own art process.

"In our World, in which religious images are getting more and more secular, we are losing our sense of the eternal. I think it's a loss that has done damage to modern art. Painting is a return to origins."— Tapies, 1990.
Thanks for all of it.

Saturday morning classes are at 5 students with room for one more. We have begun the Niblo 20 and this is my favorite part. After 22 years, I still see something fresh and new from each student. The color students are tearing it up with really exciting color mixtures. We are discussing a summer workshop in Ridgway. Any interest?
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 2:48PM Four serious students are joining me on Saturday Mornings at CFA Gallery, 916 Main Street, in Louisville, Colorado. Lynn and Colleen are studying Color Theory and Valerie and Janie are studying Basic Design- Relationships within the frame. See more on the Class Schedule page. Think about joining us for rich discussions, right brain timelessness, and to improve your art... or to start making art. The space is beautiful, light-filled, and stimulating. Linda Armantrout gives Janet Russell a big thank you for all the benefit she brings to Boulder County artists. http://www.louisvilleartsdistrict.com/
CFA Gallery is featuring friend and previous student, Donna Flebbe on Friday, Dec. 9, 2011, 6pm-9pm.

We are studying Line and creating Value with Line in Basic Design 1. We are thinking about how Color relates to the Color next to it and Value versus Intensity in Basic Design 2. This drawing on paper by Brice Marden is worth a thoughtful look to experience Repetition and Harmony and the excitement of personal Line.
Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 7:16PM Whew. Last weekend was the Lafayette Community Art Show that is still up at the Lafayette Library. I juried
it on Friday and gave the awards on Sunday. I met new artists and saw some students and friends that I hadn't seen in a while. Here is Ruth Sollers piece from the Lafayette show. Isn't it great?
First Friday was a group show at CFA Gallery for Artist Appreciation Week. The reception was packed and I saw collectors and friends and it was hopping. The show is up for November with 3 pieces each artist. I was back at CFA to teach at 10:00am till 12:30 pm and then lunch at Cafe de Paris. I left the Arts District at 4pm after a quick hello to Teresa Reed...I spent 22 hours in the same block. Louisville is getting downright interesting. Oh yeah, I did go home to sleep.
