Yeah, that's me, the paunchy guy with the mustache and three piece suit! ;-) But seriously, I am teaching several classes next semester at both the Main Line Art Center and the Wayne Art Center.

Through the Wayne Art Center:

The Figure in the Landscape
all levels
Tuesdays, 10 am to 1 pm.
Starts April 28, goes for six weeks.

This is a new class and I am very excited about it! One of my students offered me the use of her gorgeous farm in Berwyn, PA: outbuildings, spring house, creek, woods, fields, pond, paddock with horse etc. I'll have a model available for those who care to pursue that aesthetic line, but people can paint what they wish! There is a barn in which to paint the model on any rainy days, and also covered porches and loggias for the sun sensitive, and best of all for women landscape painters: access to bathrooms!

Artists' House Gallery's "Back To Cezanne" exhibit complements a special exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, "Cezanne and Beyond", to be held at the museum from February 26 to May 17, 2009. The museum exhibit features sixty of Cezanne's greatest works. It features, in addition, works by more than a dozen of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, who considered themselves influenced by Cezanne. These include such diverse masters as Matisse and Picasso, Jasper Johns and Ellsworth Kelly

For the "Back to Cezanne" exhibit at Artists' House, many artists who regularly exhibit at this gallery were invited to prepare at least one work of art reflecting the influence of Cezanne, or, instead, of his admirers. The boundaries are broad, and the results are varied and imaginative.

I am planning to be at the Sunday reception sometime after 1:30. See you then I hope!
