Fisherman Portrait

Arthur Egeli set up a wonderful pose on the beach of Matt a young fisherman.

Joining Arthur are his parents Joanette and Cedric Egeli. The Egeli's are wonderful portrait artists who come every summer and paint on the beach getting away from their overload of portrait commissions.

For many years I have been able to join the family and paint along side them from time to time. Teaching in this environment is informal. It's a  great chance to paint something fun and take a swim if the waters warm enough.

Margret McWethy

Last week Margret Mcwethy came to Provincetown to teach at the Cape School of Art. I took a break from getting ready for my show to attend the three day workshop.
Margret is a consummate artist, always learning and putting together her ideas in a notebook.
The class was all about the still life, outdoors and north light. She did a couple demos during the workshop and broke down the anatomy of the still life in an easily understood manner.
I totally walked away from the experience more enriched, not to mention a break from the anxiety show can create.
Below are some examples of her paintings and demos from the workshop.
