On our hike to the Dream Lake, we came to a stop to hear the sound and feel the speed of the rapids.

A beautiful beach scene by Joseph Zbukvic
Just finished taking a watercolor workshop from the Australia master watercolorist Joseph Zbukvic whose work I have admired for a long time. His works capture the beautiful atmosphere and mood of the location vie the sensitive use of value and edges - very impressionist. See this beach scene he did in Oceanside. His website is http://jzbukvic.com/

I am so thrilled to learn that my painting "Mr. Professor" has won the Silver Medal at the 2010 Oil Painters of America Western Regional Exhibit. It is a great recognition by this prestigious organization.
Let me quote Robert Genn from his "Dynamic Painting" from his "Twice-Weekly Letter"... It reminds me the state of my mind when I painted this painting and hope it make sense to you too. He says, ".... The dynamic artist improvises as she goes along. She thinks on her feet. Her eyes and her mind are constantly weighing opportunities and making judgments and adjustments..."
"Perhaps the most valuable dynamic ploy is to constantly ask the question, 'What could be?' With this question, the work of art evolves and comes out of itself."

I painted this on the first day at Carolyn Anderson's workshop. Not bad. I have paid a lot of my attention to the dealings of the edges. For the next a few days, I will pay special attention to the limiting of the range of the values and the harmony and unity of painting.

Got up at 6:30am and arrived at Morro Bay and started painting this about 7 or 7:30 am. Someone must love this scene for this painting was the first painting sold at the opening of the exhibit on Friday night.

My artist friend Leslie took this photo when I was trying to do a quick watercolor sketch of the street on which our restaurant is located. We were waiting outside the restaurant which opens for dinner at 7:30pm. You can tell that I was standing painting it with my little palette in my hand.... My other artist friend Bill is watching me from behind.
