So it was with great curiosity that I considered an invitation from Florida landscape painter extraordinaire Linda Blondheim. She organizes a group of painters to ply their craft at Walt Disney World's International Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. After assuring me there's plenty of architecture for subject, I decided what the heck. You see, I don't care to paint landscapes; i.e. trees, bushes, grass, etc. There's all that green and miles of branches and gazillions of leaves, blades of grass and on and on and on. How to edit all that bramble? I'll gladly leave it to the specialists. Therefore, you'll find me in jolly ol' United Kingdom painting castles. Perhaps I can improvise a knight in shining armour aboard a mighty steed. March 26th - 28th.
In other news: here's my latest painting:
"Water Training" oil on panel, 20" x 16"It's tight, a bit stiff, but I'm quite happy with the lighting and water effects. More info on the piece here: Water Training

It tickled me to read your thoughts about landscapes and distinguishing all those blades of green grass. Ditto here.
But hold your horses! Tight, loose, stiff, or dramatic, you hold them with such strength, knowledge and skill.
