Bull's Bridge CT

Richard Schmid lived near South Kent CT a while back and painted a lot of landscapes of the area. One of these is the genius painting of Bull's Bridge. We found Bull's Bridge and I shot this photo down from where I think Richard painted.

I did a quick painting below the bridge with Ed Martinez.

Painting in Connecticut

Katie 16" x 12"

I did this demo for a painting group recently at Robert Lenz'z garden in South Kent Connecticut. I had Katie Swatland model for me, and yes, that's how she dresses for a day of outdoor painting. It was a little challenging because half way through the painting she was in full sun, we had to move to a new location with some shade but I lost that warm yellow light hitting her back.

Colorado Academy of Art Closes and Owes People Money

This is an update from last weeks entry October Workshop Canceled
Apparently Peter Kennedy has owed a lot of people a lot of money for a long time. I've been getting a lot of of email lately about Peter Kennedy and the CAA, Some are from former teachers and many from students who were signed up for my October workshop at the Academy. I haven't heard from anyone who has actually received a refund for the class or even gotten a reply from Peter Kennedy, if anyone did get refunded I'd like to know. It doesn't seem likely though, according to an article in the Daily Camera the teachers at the school haven't been paid for six months, he wasn't good in business and administration but he was sure good at convincing people to work for free.

Update: The school is filing Chap. 7 Bankruptcy, if you dont want him absolved of his dept you need to file a complaint with the court by 2/23/09. There is a "meeting of creditors" on 12/23/08 but it is not necessary to attend.

Exhibition

International Artist Magazine

Force of Nature: Be it landscape or portrait Jeremy Lipking's paintings are always about the quality of the light. The new August/September issue of International Artist Magazine has an article about me with some photos of me painting the nude figure outdoors and in the studio. The photos are similar to the photos in American Art Collector and were taken by Jeff Newton.

October Colorado Workshop Canceled

The Colorado Academy of Art in Boulder has closed, and my workshop has been canceled.
This is text from an email sent out today from Peter Kennedy of CAA, it gives an email address to contact someone about a refund. It doesn't sound very assuring, if you were signed up for the workshop you should probably contact them right away. The doors are closed, the website is down, the phone is disconnected and the email address below is the only way to get in contact with anyone from the school.

"There are some outstanding refunds that still need to be addressed for future classes or workshops that some have registered for. Please respond to caaclosed@gmail.com if a refund is owed to you so we can begin to formulate a plan to try to pay those back."

Update: Just found this article online on the Daily Camera about the CAA closing. Apparently the instructors stopped getting payed 6 months ago.
