"The French impressionist, Monet, painted the same haystack twenty times from one angle, then painted it twenty more times from another angle.  Now, that is real perseverance, the stuff of which great painters are made." -Edgar Payne

I posted that quote because my students often ask me if I think it would be a good idea for them to do a study of one subject.  I always reply that I think it's not only a great idea, but a valuable lesson, one that the great master's capitalized on!

Please enjoy these beautiful works, and works in progress, by my fabulous students.

"While talent or genius must exist, at best they are merely embryonic factors and no one can guide these into productive artistry without the initiative, perseverance and determination of the student.  To say that the artist is born and not made, is only partly true.  Actually, while it is an important qualification, there is no proof of real worth in talent until it has been developed and expanded by a tremendous amount of serious study and plain hard work." - Edgar Payne

Please enjoy these wonderful works by my industrious, creative, and awesome students! It's very rewarding to watch my students grow and do such beautiful renderings of what they love!

"Those who do not move, do not notice their chains." - Rosa Luxemburg

When I work on a deeply challenging painting, it's easy to feel a little paralyzed.  As I start moving my brush around the tough areas of the composition, I feel those chains.  However, the chains quickly turn into silk threads and I begin to see something unexpected unfold. The journey of an artist's life is not without difficulties, but nothing worth achieving is ever easy.  - Jill Saur

Below, I'm highlighting Jim's new painting.  Jim has been with me for almost ten years now. I'm so proud of him for stepping out of his comfort zone, and painting this amazing palette knife portrait.  Big smile!
