Teaching Mondays

Monday studio lessons.  Shown are Ernestine and Carol; 

not shown are Cindy and Kathleen.

In response to requests, I have started teaching Mondays in my studio.  Four local artists are making the trek out to my kind-of-remote location to learn some pastel basics and receive individual coaching.  We'll be doing this until the snow flies.  Oops.  We're covered in snow today!  I think it will go away, though, and next Monday we'll be back on track.

I'm selling some framed and unframed works here and at Facebook.  Please see this page for links to the images for sale.  Patrons are sending me checks, or using PayPal, to secure these original pastels.  How to arrange a purchase, you ask?  E-mail me or message me on Facebook.  Thanks!

Pin Interest Pinterest

Here are some new boards that I have started.  The Simplicity board is very new, and it is curated to show art that is irreducible.  Well, most of the time:  it is a hard board to judge, but very revealing and much fun.

Video Killed the Radio Star

I just thought of that eighties song because of how video has become the new currency in social media.  Instead of "radio star," you might insert "artist blogger." This new emphasis on video is a bit intimidating, since most of us don't have a degree in videography. 

All that to say that while I am happy with most of my videos, this particular one is only so-so.  Live and learn.  What don't I like?  It has too much "Casey Klahn" at the start.  If you can get past that, please enjoy the pastel and the really generous words by Jackie Simmonds.

Speaking of learning, there were four artists in my remote and rural studio yesterday watching me do a demo, and then accepting critiques of their work done in class.  It was too blustery to go outside, but they found views through the windows.  That makes me realize what a blessing it is to have a commanding view right here.  God is good.

Other videos.

Color & Wolf Kahn

Wolf Kahn, Color & Consequence

from Ameringer | McEnery | Yohe on Vimeo.


I find that embedded videos that are not You Tube load slower than anything You Tube.  What is up with that?

There is a river image in this exhibit that solves a compositional problem for me on a particular river work that has noodled around in my head for a number of years.  It is a transformative thing.  You may enjoy Wolf Kahn's color ideas, but his compositions are very edgy and deserve some study.

You're Welcome
