| Quiet Cove 12x16 Oil Featured in my first demonstration for my website |
One of my projects this year is to put up several demonstrations on my web site. These demonstrations are free, and they will show you some of the techniques and methods I use, both in the studio and out. You can bookmark the link below and check back regularly to see the latest demonstrations:

My first demonstration, "Study to Studio," shows how I take field studies and use them as a reference for finished studio paintings. The painting above is featured in this one.

| Lake in the Desert 9x12 Pastel Small painting featured on my website |
If you like small paintings, you should know that I regularly post small sketches and studies, all reasonably priced, on my website as well. These are different from my larger, studio pieces that you'll find on the website. This is a link that you can follow through a blog reader or news reader such as Feedly. Here's the link you need:

| Blue Boat 12x16 Pastel Demonstration painting for my article in Pastel Journal as noted below |
Finally, Artists Network occasionally posts some of my magazine articles from Pastel Journal and The Artist's Magazine for free. Again, these are free articles, complete and exactly as they appear in the magazine. Here's one they posted today, which is about limiting pastel palettes as a way of controlling color harmony:
