Well, I made it to Ocean City NJ, Finally! I thought the drive would kill me. I just bought a Ford Econoline van from a friend. I love the van. Having enough space for my paintings and myself is a wonderful thing, but I had not really driven it yet. 85 rattled my nerves. After 14 hours though, no problem, I can drive that van!
I leave in the morning for my 5 week road trip. 5 fine art shows in a row.
I will start in Ocean City NJ . The Board walk show is held Friday through Saturday 10 - 6 and Sunday 10 - 4
I am booth number 166, between 9th and 10th Street. If you are in the area, stop by and see me
This is a photo of the paintings I have been working on. I am going to take these with me. I hope to finish the large one, 48 x 36, "View from La Falconara" on the trip.
Wish me luck!

Week 2
All new students have flocked to Scad Atlanta for an intensive week of learning and fun.
These are exceptional high school student from all over the country who have applied and been accepted to Scad Atlanta for the week. I am teaching a 2 and half hour panting workshop in the morning and a 2 and a half hour still life drawing workshop in the afternoon.
Everyone worked really hard and had a great time. I could see a lot of progress in such a short time. So now it is time for the art party!!
Family and friends came out to see what these young artist have been up to all week. I had the pleasure of meeting several parents tonight and you could tell how proud they were.
We had students from all over the US, so a lot of new friendships were formed this week, and what better way to celebrate than an art party. Check out these great pictures from the show.
The drawing class has been on a series of drawing leading up to the final exercise. They picked their favorite technique from the week and used that for the 2 day project.
The assignment was pretty complicated, but I think the results will be worth it. First, I took a photo of each student. Looking at the photo, they numbered each value 1 through 7. Next,they are to create a self portrait using a single color for each value in the photograph.
Congratulation Bianca ! Featured student of the week. We all love the floating hat.
Here are a few photos from class. The students have started their final project, which is a still life. They can use the medium of their choice, but they must be finished by 4:00 on Friday.
We are almost finished with the first week of SCAD summer series. Here are a few photos from the painting class. Check in tomorrow to see their completed projects.
I had a good show and on the way home we stopped in Scottsboro, Al to visit the Unclaimed Baggage store. What fun! We also walked through the town and did a little antiquing. We found a few great deals. If you are in the area , I highly suggest a stop over.
Photos of my booth from the show and of Spring Park where the show was held. I would have taken a few photos of Scottsboro, but I packed the camera and could not find it - oops!
Rob and I are off to Tuscumbia AL this weekend for the Helen Keller Art Festival. This is a hot festival, but the people are so friendly it is a joy to participate. Below is a photo taken of me last year while working at the booth. I'll let you know how the show goes this year.
Cheers!!

Every year Binders hosts a gallery opening for my painting students from SCAD Atlanta and Spruill Community Arts Center. We had another great and successful show this year. Seven paintings were sold on opening night.
Thank you for all those you helped out and made it possible. The food and wine were excellent (thanks to 103 West and Bret Kathey from Icon Estates) and of course there was the great music preformed by Eddie Varsalona!!
The show will be up through July 2nd. Please stop by if you get a chance.
Binders is located at
