Hello Friends, Art Affectionados and Collectors,I hope everyone is enjoying the transition to warmer weather and spending more time in the outdoors.May 28-29 the Fine Line Creative Center is having a booth at the St. Charles Art Fair. As a faculty member I will have some paintings in the booth's art exhibit, and on Sunday afternoon I will be doing a demo oil painting probably around 2:00pm. If you get a chance stop on by and say hello. Also I will be teaching a class "Expressive Oil Painting" on Wednesday evenings (6-9pm) at the Fine Line beginning June 3rd. This class will start with the very fundamentals of painting, and proceed over time to equip the student with the means to express their personal vision through the medium of oil paint. I will also be instructing another class at the Fine Line "Landscapes in Oils" that will be on Saturday mornings (9am-12pm) beginning July 9. If you would like more information on either of these classes go to the Fine Line website at www.fineline.org. On a less happy note The Riverbend Gallery in Bend, Oregon by which I was represented, had to close it's doors recently due to the flagging economy. Jane Ujhazi the gallery director did a valiant effort to make a go of the gallery and worked very hard to promote the galleries artists. I hope she does well in the future as she was a great gallery director to work with. However, I am still represented by The Proud Fox gallery in Geneva, Illinois and Kamp Galleries of Chicago and Winnetka. Also, The Comfort Shop which will be opening in June in Hyde Park will be carrying several of my smaller works. This might be an example of "one door closes, another door opens". I am looking forward to doing even more painting this summer and I want to thank you for your interest in my art. All the best Bill "Summer" |
Hi, I am a traditional oil painter and this is my new Blog. In the future on this blog, you will find some photos of my paintings, works in progress, descriptions of my oil painting methods, comments about artists I like, art instruction, news of upcoming events. Basically a boatload of curmudgeonism as related to the world of fine art. My paintings can also be seen on my website: www.wworcesterart.com. I also hope to hear from you with your comments and insights.
