My Master Artists Squad
I heard about a British art show called Portrait Artist of the Year 2020. I’m on the fence about it, but over all, it’s worth a watch. I had the first several episodes on in the back ground as I did other things. I like that it isn’t like American […]

I made it!

This is at Fabyan Forest Preserve in Geneva (I believe.) I had a very fun day painting with Katie. It was gorgeous. We also were in the newspaper because many artists gathered at the park for a paint out.
