I wanted to dedicate this page to some of my student artists that focus on the fundamentals of
perspective, shading, color, painting and just having fun.
You may recognize some of the artwork and perhaps have created the same, however, anyone who
has attended my classes knows that no two projects turn out the same.
There will also be some art that you do not recognize, these students went to the next level and have
created their own art using the technique they've learned in class.

Great job Natalie, keep up the good work.

I wanted to showcase some of Dan Casey's "pen &
ink with oil rouging" artwork. Dan is from Vermont
but spends his winter months in Southern Palms
RV Resort in Eustis and I've had the pleasure to
have Dan as a student for several years now. He
has really excelled and has entered and won many
awards these past few years.
The picture of the dog (who is now deceased), is
on an 11 x 14 canvas. Just look at the detail, the
eyes, the tongue, the position of the dogs body, he
captured everything perfectly...and look at the
detail on the large pillow!!
Below is a 16 x 20 also on canvas, of Nubble
Lighthouse in York, Maine. Dan worked from a
photo that his son snapped, look at the waves
crashing against the rock and...note the eagle
flying above the lighthouse, what perfect timing!
The Sandpipers was created on a large 20 x 30
canvas and must have been a real challenge
because normally in class the largest we ever paint
on is 16x20 so, again, great job. Notice the waves
coming in on shore?
As you can see Dan has been really busy and I
know for a fact there are more paintings that he
has finished and won some ribbons. Dan should
be very proud of his accomplishments.
Remember....practice makes perfect!!!

| Nancy Hetzel from Royal Highlands showing some of her cards she made. Nancy creates her artwork from the classes she attends, then turns them into note cards and greeting cards. Her original artwork is proudly hanging on her walls at home and she is able to share her art with friends and relatives in her card making skills. |

| The "Beach Chair" created by students at Sweetwater Oaks in Ocala |
| The "Wayside Chapel" created by Royal Highlands Artists |
| Kelly Hoernig's Shades of Green, taught by Sharon brought 16 artists to the class. All were very happy with their results, some selected a dark blue surface rather than the dark green and all turned out stunning!!! |
| Betty Ridley has taken many classes with me and it has certainly paid off for her. These are just two of her creations which she has adapted her Pen & Ink with Oil Rouging skills to create beautiful artwork. Betty believes in practice makes GREAT JOB BETTY. |
| New Smyrna Beach RV Park displaying the "Wayside Chapel", beautiful job ladies. |
| Some of the regulars at Hobby Lobby in Mt. Dora. In February they painted "The River Road Lighthouse". They always create an outstanding piece of art. |
| Maureen Benoit from Royal Highlands proudly displays another piece of her art. This was a 16x20 color pencil project designed by kelly Hoernig, on dark green matboard. Maureen's choice of white for framing really brings out the beautiful dragonfly. Beautiful job Maureen, it will look absolutely stunning on your wall!! |

| My class had the pleasure of celebrating Gena's Birthday on April 15 at Hobby Lobby in Mt. Dora. Her daughter Laura brought the balloon and delicious cupcakes. Betty brought her husbands home baked cookies which are always welcomed in class because they are "to die for", plus we had donuts and jelly beans. Hope you enjoyed your birthday Gena!!!! |
