This last month and half has been very creative and very hectic.

1. We have seven people for the Mexican Workshop! Can't wait for August 5th.

2. I gave a fascinating lecture in Portland, OR, on the historical, powerful individualists that were in the orbits of artists that painted the nude.

3. I started a major painting project with a great model (I will post images next month.) It shows all the indications of being one of my most dramatic works in both contrast of light and dark, and in theme.

4. I am working on two large still lifes, will post images next month as well.

5. My figure drawing group on Sundays is going great.

6. This month, I am starting a evening art class, teaching it every Wednesday. 

7. And, I finished my 5th art review for The New Individualist, on up and coming 24 year old artist, Timur Akhriev.

Next month I will fill you in with images, details, and links.
