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!

Thanks to Liz Haywood-Sullivan and the IAPS organization for exhibiting this pastel in Boston, May 10-June 21, 2014.  Liz writes the following:

"Please Come to Boston in the Springtime" - Dave Loggins.

If you do be sure to see the 24th IAPS Juried Exhibition at Vose Galleries. The exhibition runs from May 10 through June 21. Vose Galleries has devoted all 5 floors to pastel! The two lower floors display over 30 antique pastels in a show called "Crystals of Pigment: the Power of Pastel, and the top three floors exhibit the 76 paintings from around the world that make up the IAPS exhibition. This is a must see show!
