SEASONAL NOTES FROM ANN
Autumn 2007

Full Moon over Schuyler Island (photo)

Summer has flown by and I’ve spent most of
 it outdoors rather than painting. I did take
many photos and have several paintings in
progress now. I am working on a variety of
smooth surfaces and my subjects are quite
varied. They include architecture and the figure.

Here are a few painting demonstrations from
my May workshop at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL.

In August I was pleased to attend the reception and accept my Trails and Stream award at the Adirondacks National Exhibition of American Watercolors in Old Forge, NY.

The painting that received the award is “Summer Solace”, painted on a gel coated surface.
