Summer Abstracts

 This series of paintings that I completed in late June through August are in watercolor, acrylic or mixed media.  I am working on these paintings with line, gesture, color movement and spontaneity.  I want the feeling of time and life in the works.  Most of them feel organic and plant like to me.

Katherine Desjardin Ultimate Color Workshop

 

Simply Super!

I think that you can learn something from anyone, but Katerine Desjardin's class is exceptionally beneficial to any student.  I am excited to pass on anything that I learned from Kate.  Here are some of the artworks that I worked on in this workshop.
