I have quite a few things going on right now and I want to share them with my fellow artists/blog readers. 

First of all, I'm accepting new art students who want to learn to paint in pastel and oil.  Anyone at any level, ages 16 and up, who want to improve their drawing and painting skills are welcome to join.  I work closely with my students in small group settings or on an individual basis, as they wish.  At this time, I'm working out of my home studio but as the number of students increases, I plan to teach at the Kentucky Backroads Gallery, where my work is shown. 

Speaking of Kentucky Backroads Gallery, they'll be having a show called, "City of Angels and Devils," featuring the work of Gena Neumann, from July 1 through August 15.  My work will also be on display, as well as the work of seven other artists represented by the gallery

I'll be donating a pastel painting of a female orangutan and her baby to the 11th Annual Art for the Animals benefit for the Shamrock Foundation.  This is a great cause so please come and support this charity.  I'll provide more information in my "Upcoming Events" section of this Website as soon as I know the details. 

Finally, I'll be entering three paintings into the Kentucky State Fair.  Again, you can check out the "Upcoming Events" section where I'll provide all of the details as soon as I find out more specific information. 

Feel free to respond to this blog - I always love to hear from my fellow artists and friends.
