Wolf Kahn Obligations
Bravo, Mr. Kahn. I couldn't agree with you more about having a sense of obligation to our culture. Our better angels thank you.

It's fun to render rocks. This boulders and river scene is reminiscent of my rock climbing days and visits to Icicle Creek, in Washington. Maybe I'll get there this summer and do some more scenes.

Florence with Vianna Szabo
Vianna Szabo
Is Italy in your very near future? I want to bring Vianna's incredible workshop to your attention. It is at the end of May and is your opportunity to paint the figure in Florence. The hosts are native to the Florence region, and plan exciting art events to coincide with this 9-day figure/portrait workshop.
When you get back, tell me how everything goes. I plan to teach in the same venue in the next year or two!
