You bet your kolinskys I'm teaching a lot. Ah, it could be worse. A lot worse. So, no complaints.

The "Romantic Figures in the Garden" class? Oh, heh, that's my fancy name for outdoor clothed figure/portrait painting. It is truly a challenge and an amazing study of light to paint portraits outdoors, so I wanted to offer that. It needed a fancier name, though - a "hook", if you will. A class with the generic name of "Outdoor Clothed Figure/Portrait Painting" just doesn't sing, you know? It would appeal to some, but we (the director of the school and I) need more than the interest of some people to fill the class.

Linda, as always, your comments on my work are much appreciated, good or bad. I must admit, though, you've got a far better touch with this kind of work... I recently saw (elsewhere) some of the workshop pieces you'd done with Mr. Whitaker. I'm gonna put you on the spot and ask you to post them. Makes mine look like moose drool.

Rob, indeed the name does make me want to take the class
