I am teaching two workshops this year at the Portland, Oregon Art and Soul Retreat. The first on is on April 11, 2023 and called Watercolor Nature Journaling. I will be teaching techniques for how to paint animals and plants in small format for your journals.
I am excited to be published in the Summer issue of Art Journaling Magazine. My article, Color Choices, covers how I use color in my watercolor art journals. There are lots of examples of my paintings as well as some color studies.
Art Journaling is for sale now at Barnes and Noble or you can order your copy from their website: https://stampington.com/Art-Journaling-Summer-2020/
A day at the beach refreshes the soul! The sights, the exploring, the fresh air….
IT is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquillity;
The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the sea:
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder–everlastingly.
Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouch’d by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:
Thou liest in Abraham’s bosom all the year;
And worshipp’st at the Temple’s inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.
