Plein Air Convention in Las Vegas

This weekend I did a live demo and lecture at the Plein Air Convention in Las Vegas and debuted a plein air easel that I designed which I affectionately call the "iPochade". (My thanks to Ed Terpening for the photo.)  Eric Rhodes and M. Stephen Doherty and their staff did a fantastic job organizing the event. It was one of the greatest and most informative three days in my professional life and would highly recommend attending next year's event (which will most likely be held the same week in Monterey, California).

California Art Club Gold Medal Show

I took the whole family down to see the CAC Gold Medal Show at the Autry Museum this past weekend. There are many great works in the show including Ray Roberts seascape which won the artist choice award this year.  My wife snapped this picture of my kids practicing the "look but do not touch" technique.
