New Summer Art Classes / 2013
The current Spring Semester for art classes at the Woodlands Art League is ending May 31, 2013. I am excited to announce that I will continue to have art classes during the Summer Semester. I will be accepting new and current students for both the Monday evening class (6-8:30 pm) and the Thursday day class (10-12:30 pm). The Woodlands Art League is located in Grogans Park Center (near Amerigo's), 25136 Grogans Park Drive, Woodlands, TX. Tuition is $35 per class for WAL members and $39 per class for non-members. Tuition is due monthly.
Additionally, the ongoing, year long classes at Jerry's Artarama are also continuing during the Summer on Wednesday morning (10-12:30). Jerry's Artarama is located at 12974-A Willowchase Dr. in Houston, TX.
I look forward to seeing everyone at their easels at either the Woodlands Art League or at Jerry's Artarama!

Artist Comments
This is my fourth plein air painting from the Rienzi Gardens series. For this painting, I setup my easel in the "White Garden" section of the Rienzi Gardens. I was intrigued by the brilliant afternoon light as it casts sparkling spots and mottled shadows on the plants and walkway, creating a symphony of light and shadow. I wanted to capture this magical light and, if only for a moment, have the viewer escape and join me in this brief moment of tranquility.
