I just had the pleasure of attending a David Curtis plein aire 3-day workshop that the Governor Went
worth Art Council offered its members for a nicely reduced rate. The workshop was held at the Todaro center but the intention was to head outdoors to paint. Unfortunately it was one of the few rainy weeks we’ve experienced in the last four months.
The first day we spent under the cover of the Todaro center porches. The second day was beautiful and we set up outdoors at the beach at the end of the road at the Todaro center’s YMCA camp in Moultonboro, along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. The third day was again pouring rain so we stayed indoors either working on changes from the critiques we had on our paintings or on a couple of projects that David brought just in case we had an indoor day.

I don’t quite understand how my artwork has been proclaimed by some people “cute”. Is it the subject matter? Or perhaps the size of the paintings – recently I participated in a show and I displayed a series of paintings that were all 5”x7” animal paintings. But I’m thinking it is the subject. But unless I’m painting animals that are wearing overalls or dresses and sun bonnets, there really is nothing cute about them. And I’m not painting clothed animals. I’m a serious artist, I paint serious animal paintings. (Oil painting at left, Mustangs, is 30"x40").
