Art in the News

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Last night, Friday 29th of October, I hosted a small reception displaying some of the art work I’ve brought back from France along with the premiere of a new instructional DVD that I will be showcasing soon.  I’ve included a link to a small article, “Entering ‘Van Gogh country’ stirs artistic endeavor”, talking about the event and will be adding another post soon with a link to an interview I gave at the reception.

I’ve also included a short video below showcasing a few of the paintings that were on display last night.  These are a few of the paintings I’ve brought back from some of my trips to France.

David and Cécile were featured on the Art Talks with Bruce Carter program, Augustana College NPR station, wvik.org. The interview is really interesting and I’m sure you’ll learn a few things, even if you think you know everything about them and painting already :-)
