BEGINNING TO ADVANCED ARTISTS HAVE FUN WORKING WITH A SMUDGE! THE FIRST VIDEO IS AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VARIETY OF IMAGES YOU ARE ABLE TO CREATE. PLUS TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE "MORE" ON THE MENU TO SEE STUDENT'S WORK / INSPIRATION.
YOU ARE SURE TO BE INSPIRED!

THE SECOND VIDEO IS OF FINISHED LANDSCAPE PIECES ALL DONE IN THE SAME FOUR (4) COLORS. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE TAKEN MY CLASSES CAN UNDERSTAND HOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE PIECES WERE MADE. THAT IS WHAT IS SO EXCITING FOR ME. WE CAN TALK THE SAME LANGUAGE. TEMPLATES AND SMUDGING! LOOK ON TO SEE SOME BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES CREATED IN THIS UNIQUE STYLE.

CREATING A SERIES OF WORK, UTILIZING THE SAME COLOR SCHEME WAS WHAT, I FEEL, WAS THE EDGE I HAD THAT GOT ME ACCEPTED INTO THE 2013 RENO, NEVADA "CITY ART BLAST" PLUS THE 2018 SHOWING AT THE MCKINLEY GALLERIES MANAGED BY THE CITY OF RENO ART AND CULTURE I WAS PRESENTING MYSELF AND MY WORK AS A COHESIVE BODY OF WORK, A STUDY IN THE SAME SUBJECT MATTER, "LANDSCAPES" AND UTILIZING THESE SAME COLORS THROUGHOUT THE WORK. A LOOK THAT IS UNDENIABLY MINE!

THE VIDEO PRESENTED BELOW IS FROM THE MARKETING EFFORTS OF THE RENO CITY ART BLAST. ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT I WAS HONORED WITH THE "JURORS CHOICE AWARD" AND PRESENTED WITH A CHECK FROM THE CITY ARTS AND CULTURAL COMMISSION. THAT TRULY MAKES ALL OF MY HARD WORK AND EFFORT WORTH IT. THANK YOU'S TO JURORS AHREN HERTEL & MEGAN BERNER. CHRISTINE FEY, NETTIE OLIVERIO AND THE MANY MEMBERS OF THE RENO ARTS & CULTURE COMMISSION.
