Presentation on Morocco- in French!
I'll be giving a casual presentation on my trip to Morocco. June 22, 11 am, Alliance Francaise Smith St. in Providence for their friday Cafe/Croissant. With lots of help from my friends at the Alliance me give lecture talking French on Morocco. This reminds me of how much laughing outloud I did while reading David Sedaris' book Me talk Pretty one Day. The lecture won't be that funny but will undoubdtedly make you laugh for one reason or another. It wil also include pretty pictures and people who do actually speak French fluently. The lecture is free and open to the public, a small donation to the Alliance is appriciated.
That's me. Quick, go get your copy today: The fabulous Elyse Press Major (see her blog tinkeredtreasures here) wrote a peice on me for Romantic Homes Magazine. Thanks Elyse!
10"x10", oil on canvas, from a watercolor painting. Not working from life leaves so many blank spaces. The relatively quick drying watercolors rely on details that I cannot achieve in oil with my impatient demeanor. So I growl and fuss and stand stumped at my easel. I think last one worked out because I did it in a few sittings, letting it dry in between. The watercolor original for this paitning is featured along with me in an article, "A Providence Artist in Marrakech" by Renee Doucette for the East Side Monthly.

Q: What are the important traits or skills of a successful artist?
Paintings #405, 406 and 407, value studies.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to demo for the painting one class at Missouri valley College. They were a terrific bunch. I did these monochromatic value studies. The opening of The Morris Gallery was a great success. I had a wonderful time, thank you so much Charity-Mika.
