I had a great workshop in Vermont with master watercolorist Alvaro Castagnet! He's a great teacher and he amazed me with his skills with the watercolor medium. I am still playing with my watercolor paints and did this painting of a scene I painted once before in oils. It is from my trip to Giverny a few years ago when I visited Monet's garden.

Painter at the Musee d'Orsay

Here is another painting I did from a photo I took while visiting the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. I found the painters who were there copying the masters to be just as fascinating as the works of art on display. I have many photos of these painters that will probably end up as paintings. Some were students, others I think were professional copiers.

A Painter in Paris

During the last big storm, I got bored and started to look at photos I took the last time I was in Paris. I came across a series of photos I took of painters in museums copying old master paintings. I became inspired and the result is this painting called "A Painter in Paris".
