Published in the Daniel Smith Artist Materials Catalog!

Last year I was contacted by Ampersand Art Supply to write an article about working in oil on Gessobord. (They are a wonderful company that makes some of the best archival wood surfaces I have ever used!) I was honored to say the least, and began a new painting documenting every step of the way... I am excited to announce that this article has now been published in the recent copy of Daniel Smith Artist Materials Spring Catalog!  The article is titled, "How to get More Out of Your Painting Surface, Working with Oils on Gessobord".

Detail from "Starting Point"

The painting titled, "Starting Point", that I did for the article has recently sold, but all the photos I took of the painting in progress have been organized into a slideshow now showing on JenTV! I have now added the JenTV feature to my website! So now you can explore all my slideshows and movies about technique in one spot! To view this slideshow visit JenTV now! -click HERE.

I am excited to announce that my painting above has been featured in the new Daniel Smith Artist Materials reference catalog for 2008/2009! I was honored to have worked with them to help design a new oil paint set back in July. The set contains the colors I currently use based on a warm and cool of each primary.  You can view these colors and a tid bit that I wrote here... it is a virtual version of the catalog - just flip to page 25 when you get there. 

Also worked on a few new pieces today AND took on another project... ANOTHER SHOW IN SEPTEMBER. Yes folks. I will be having two shows simultaneously on the same street! Check out it out on Greenwood and 78th on September 1st at Makeda Coffee (and wine and beer!) and then pop on over to Neptune Coffee (and wine and beer!) just down the street! 

Whew! I have soooo much MORE painting to do now. 

But as you can see, I can't seem to stop my blogging.
