All of the student works are progressing well. Joanne finished her dog and the lighthouse painting. Nancy S. made good progress on her seascape, and the big wave is looking great.
Emerging artists Bob H. Tom L. and Dave G. are progressing well. Check out their work on the Student Works tab. Next week I’ll have an update of Jim, Roland, and Deb’s work for you.
I recently painted three gourds and added the Painting Process for November Gourds. These are easy and fun to paint, and I try to do one painting each fall.
The March 24 open house at Edgewood Retirement Community in North Andover went well. There were six artists from the Greater Salem Artists Association, and the Art Institute Group of the Merrimack Valley among the seventeen artists showcasing their work.
It was a great opportunity to meet the Edgewood residents, and the quality and range of art shown was wonderful. Here is a photo of my display:
My next show will be the Spring Fling held at Woodbury School, Main Street, Salem NH on Saturday, May 15. More information to follow on this popular show.
We had seven folks in the painting class at Ingram Senior Center today. The three new folks are off to a good start, Joanne finished her dog, Jim is near the end of his little bird, and Deb is making good progress on her flowers.
Roland and Dave are catching up to Bob on their ears of corn. This is the first painting I have all new students do, as it’s a simple and fun painting that does not take a lot of time to complete. It allows folks new to the acrylic painting process to get familiar with the medium.

Two Updates on Paintings:
I have added a painting of a coastline from a seagull’s point of view. Look in Paintings, 2010 for this. We missed a week at the Senior Center because of the snow, and I updated the Students Work page to show the good progress they are making.
Mike H., Nancy S. and Joanne K. are all making good progress with their paintings. The work done at the February 9th class has been updated on the Student Works page.
A brief description on how the paper-mâché sculptures were made has been posted on the Sculptures page.
A new painting has been added to Paintings, 2010. A late January storm hit, and this was the view of some nearby hills from my back deck as the storm ended. Heavy, wet snow coated everything.
