I will instruct you about seeing the world as a realist artist sees it. I will be painting in oil, but you are welcome to work in a different medium such as acrylic, pastel, or watercolor, and I will instruct you in the medium you choose and compare it to my approach in oil.

For outdoor painting, you will want to wear a hat, use sunscreen, and have bug spray. Please bring an easel to set up outdoors. A limited number of French easels are available to borrow upon request in advance.

Students provide their own materials. Here is a list for general oil painting supplies and here is a list of supplies for plein air painting, but it does not have to be strictly followed. You are welcome to use the materials you have and work in a different medium than oil.

The popular Painted Trotters of Goshen again trotted into the village’s downtown.  To promote the arts and generate awareness and enthusiasm for Goshen’s horse racing history, the project placed approximately 40 plywood cutouts of horses around Goshen’s business district.  Each horse was beautifully painted by a local artist in their own style.  My Mom and I each painted a trotter.  The horses were auctioned off on
Friday September 21, 2018 at 6pm at Limoncello Restaurant at 159-167, Main St, Goshen, NY 10924.  The format was a silent auction, and the bidding closed at 7:30pm sharp.  The horses were officially unveiled at the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame at 240 Main Street Goshen, NY 10924 on Monday, June 18, 2018 at 6pm.
