Richmond Virginia Private Painting Workshop

I finished our visit to Richmond, Virginia, for Plein Air Richmond with a private two-day painting workshop. Our thanks to Cabell and Patti Harris for hosting us, and to Patti especially for organizing this workshop. 

Day one of the workshop as I began my demonstration painting.

Luckily, the heat and humidity took a break for this workshop, giving us perfect weather for an outdoor class. Not everyone who wanted to participate could attend on both days, so we took a group photo each day to commemorate the experience.

Richmond Workshop Group Day One

We had planned to move to a local park on day two of the workshop, to give everyone the chance to paint a different location, but the grass was really overgrown at the time in this particular park, and there wasn't much seating, so class member Alice Massie volunteered to host day two of the class in her garden. 

I really enjoyed painting with all of these artists. It was great to see some breakthroughs, especially on the second day, and we've already made plans for another workshop in Richmond next year.

Cabell Harris Portrait Commission

It's a quirky one, but this is definitely the man we know. I'm honored to have been asked to paint the portrait of creative genius Cabell Harris. "Cabell" (oil on canvas, 25"x30").

Portrait Study - Don

Here's my hour and a half portrait study of "Don" (oil on linen, 10"x14"), painted last week with the San Antonio Portrait Painters at The Coppini Academy of Fine Arts.
