iMovie Colors

This is my first effort with iMovie. I had lots of fun! The artworks are late 2014 works; the "paint on them is still wet."

There isn't much in the way of terrain relief in Florida, and so when I saw this upswell of sand, it caught my attention. Florida is beautiful, though, and has inspired several paintings so far.

In 2015 I will be going to Italy to teach a 14-day workshop at La Romita.  I first heard about this wonderful art workshop center from a local artist and friend. La Romita was established in 1548 as a monastery. Workshops are housed and catered on site, and logistics for painting forays are supported by the staff.

Here is a blurb from their website:

La Romita School of Art first opened in 1966, under the guidance of Enza Quargnali, as the summer art program of Rockford College in Illinois. For over 50 years people have stayed at La Romita, painting the landscape, people, and towns in the beautiful Umbrian hill country, whose radiant golden light has charmed artists since the days of Perugino and his famous pupil, Rafael.

I am gathering interest for October or July, 2015. Contact me.
