West Seattle Blog Ruins Tour and CandP Watercolor classes

Hey people...take a look at the West Seattle Blog article about my work and my classes in the March 21 !  Ellen Cedargreen wrote the article and took the photos during my tour of the Ruins and also put in a plug for my classes.  Thanks Ellen!  Thanks West Seattle Blog!  My infamy increases.

Here I was, ready to install after two years of work.

J. Edgar Hoofer.  4’ by 2.5’  (in the entry) Part of a series I painted of 30’s political characters. Mr. Hoofer, here, is a cross-dressing zebra.  John Swartley designed the format for all 6 characters.

BTW, the food at the Ruins is fabulous.

And here’s a shot of my wonderful students in a class  a couple of winters ago.

(Each class unit has a different focus....this next unit (starting tonight at CandP Coffee 5612 California Ave SW Seattle, WA 98136-1515(206) 933-3125) will feature spring, animals, color theory and creation of space with values and aerial perspective.  All levels of skills welcome.

Fifi and Fo Fum. French Yaps

 
A few years ago I was requested to present a client's small dogs in panels for her living room.  They were to be portrayed "in the French manner" Perfect for Rococo.

I always like to meet the real thing when I do a job, so I drove over to meet the little creatures with some doggie treats and a camera. 

They were tiny gnat-like creatures.  Little yapping ectoplasms to one used to gallumping labradors and hunting dogs, but the client loved them....all five of the little dogs swarming  around in a bunch at my feet.......if mosquitos could bark.

I have the rest of the series....somewhere on a CD, and once I get this wretched job of getting my images and projects ready for my web guy, I should have them all together....
