This was a weekend of extremes: Extreme mountain weather - extreme learning and extreme frustration trying to apply that learning!
Liz Wiltzen doing a demo for the class. She set up 3 vine
tomatoes on a near cadmium orange cloth. Strong directional light illuminated
the reds and oranges and cast deep shadows. Liz is a phenomenal teacher and coach and an exquisite painter... and she's right here in our back yard!
The Cochrane Eagle - one of our local newspapers ran a BEST OF COCHRANE
survey for a number of weeks earlier this year. Readers were asked to vote for the “BEST OF” in 80 categories with
gold, silver and bronze going to the respective winners in each category.
Whatchaknow, I struck gold in the BEST ARTIST category! Awards event at Killarney's Cochrane (Cochrane Golf Club) on April 24th!
"KIMBERLY" as her mother calls her 11x10, Oil on Canvas
When Kim moved back to Alberta with her husband, she helped out at her mom's art store, Cochrane Arts Central where I teach. Super nice person - and smart too. I really enjoyed doing this little portrait.
Coffee in one hand, brush in the other; God’s back yard – I’ll NEVER take any of this for granted! Spent much of yesterday on friend Hamish Kerfoot’s place - Providence Ranch North West of Cochrane. Thanks mate!
