So, last week’s sculpture demonstration was a fun time for everyone involved, or at least it seemed to be! There were about 50 attendees, and it was great to see both familiar and new faces in the group. I’m grateful there were a lot of insightful questions to keep me on my toes! As planned,…

As autumn approaches, the East Aurora Art Society is gearing up for it’s new sessions, starting this month. I’ll be the first guest artist demonstrator of the season. The program will involve a general explanation of sculpture tips and…
This past weekend I stopped by to visit the East Aurora Art Society’s Summer Art Festival. I was glad I did!

As anyone following this blog has probably noticed I’ve been occasionally focusing on a few of the influential artists in my life (most recent being John Singer Sargent). To that list I’d like to add French academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). It’s amazing to me that someone who had the supernal artistic facility of this artist…
Of the dozens upon dozens of fun little animals I’ve had to draw, many have been winged creatures including a pterosaur, many species of birds, and this flying fox. Being given many flying animals to create, I had to place some of them with wings folded, perched on a twig or on the ground. The…
