Art and Icelandic Sheepdogs


Hello, Monday...class day. I teach a small oil painting class on Mondays from 9:00 til noon.

My students and I then went to lunch together and met some other artist friends...

I think it is so important for artists to get together to talk "art", we learn from and inspire each other.

(just like other Icelandic Sheepdog owners need to get together to talk "dog".)


On the first Thursday evening of each month some of my oil painting artist friends and some students get together here in my living room to talk about art....We call ourselves the "Prometheans". (read about Prometheus in Greek mythology). We talk, and sometimes watch videos of artists we admire....this month it is one by David Leffel....doing a still life demo. He is one of my favorites today.


Thought for today: Paint with both sides of your brain.... the rational and the emotional.
Painting entitled: "Salmon River II" (in Iceland)
