I was honored to be among 13 top San Francisco Bay Area artists at the Triton Museum's annual gala last week. The Triton triumph is a festive event to support the Triton art and education programs. What an event! We had 3 hours to turn a blank canvas into a work of art. Patrons wined and dined, bid and mingled as we worked. Special thanks to Jeff Bramschreiber and George Rivera for inviting me to participate in this event and Sonya Paz for the high bid on my piece. Sonya is a fabulous artist and has a wonderful gallery on Santana Row in San Jose. For more details about this event, please visit my blog.

We did a color seeing workshop and the students did phenomenal work. Hey, I liked their work better than my own demo! You'll be surprised at what you can do. Showing up is really half the battle. So, come on down and create a masterpiece!
Give yourself a treat and your walls some soul! These oil painting workshops usually held the first Monday of the month are a blast! Only $50 each or $125 when you sign up for 3! You can start at any time, but the best time to start is now!
You can now view the latest episode of "Give Your Walls Some Soul" through Google Video. Of course, I am still working on the global network distribution of the show. So, if I'm not yet in your neck of the woods, please contact your local station and tell them you want the show!
I'll be taping my next "Give Your Walls Some Soul" episode on May 17th. Ok, so I thought I was going to paint a sock monkey, but the legs were calling out to me (you'll just have to watch my show on Google to see what I mean). I think it's time to paint another sock monkey!
See "Give Your Walls Some Soul" on the following stations!!
The sites will be simplified and the product choices will grow. You'll be able to save money, too, as the products will come directly from the manufacturer. I'm really excited and think you will like the changes.
