Eric Wiegardt Workshop

Is there anyone out there "thinking" about taking Eric Wiegardt's painting workshop June 6-8. at HUMMINGBIRD? We just need ONE MORE registration to make the class go.


I'm an oil painter but I have been really looking forward to working with Eric, especially after reading what various people have posted about his workshops. He teaches fundamentals of design/composition as well as water media technique so I figure it will help my paintings no matter what, and I'm done with schlepping oil paints when I travel. I figure if I can handle water media it will be great for painting on the go. And who knows? I/you just might like watercolor and acrylics if we knew how to get the most out of them.
...so I'm hoping that there will be some last minute registrations that will enable us to cover his teaching fee.

Here is the workshop info http://humnew.com/EricWiegardt-09.html
Note the link to payment option.

And for those of you who have been here and wanted to come back, I also remind you that this could be our last year at HUMMINGBIRD before we move back to Portland. A lot has changed here and we would love to share it with you.

Magical Miracle

" Magical Miracle" 12 x12" oil on canvas $150
A couple of months ago I was asked to participate in the Annual Women's Invitational at Rogue Community College. The theme was Abracadabra. Since I was growing lettuce greens indoors for winter salads, I was fascinated and amazed once again by the miracle of a sprouting seed. I think the gallery expected some fantasy from me, but nothing struck me as more magical than this event. "Ta-Da!" says Mother Nature.
I just got the painting back from the show; it fits my life perfectly right now as I spend hours propagating seeds and preparing garden beds so our place will look beautiful for my daughter's wedding in August and for the prospective buyers that will come shortly thereafter.
