I have had a number of people ask me recently when my next workshop will happen. I have decided to do a combination studio/plein air 4-day workshop here at my home in Santa Fe. The dates will be October 8^th-11^th 2018. The seminar will allow the student the option of what he or she wants to accomplish, be it in the studio or outside my house. Those who have been here at my studio, know there is plenty of options for painting just by stepping outside. For details, please contact me at the listed email or phone # below.

Thanks so much and happy painting to all!
