John Pototschnik Oil Workshop in Seguin TX 2009

This was a wonderful 2 day workshop.. we had lectures, a demo and learned a lot! our challange by John was to create a painting with a minimal palate.. 3 colors.. we made the underpainting using a raw umber.. you can see on my easel.. I mixed all the colors in my sand dune painting from the 3 primary colors of red, blue and yellow... and added white.. I was amazed at the sand colors and weed/grass colors I got by mixing those 3 bright colors.. It was fun and we met artists or up and coming artists from near Dallas, Houston and Abilene.. was a great time and well worth our time.:) Thanks to John and his patient wife for this visit.

Morning Glories on the Birdhouse

Greetings, it is October already... time gets away from me.. this is family time at the beach and morning glories .... two more oils I've recently done... our art league in Seguin is having a workshop for two days with John Pototschnik directing it. He is a well known artist from Dallas area coming down to share with us. He works in oil and does landscapes.. will be a good, fun experience and I will post something of his influence soon.. be fun to see what I take away from the learning process..

Most of these paintings are in private collections now, I love doing this, if you have a photo of a special memory or place, maybe we could work together to get it done in oil for you... contact me and we can see what we can work out.... as long as you aren't in a hurry:) This is my relaxation and I turn on the soft music and get into it.... thanks for coming along on this journey with me.......
