My friend, Virginia and I just took an evening workshop from Linda Womack.  We learned the crackle method, it was way frickin’ cool.  Both Virginia and i are really excited to incorporate that technique into our work.  Linda is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn about encaustic painting & techniques to take her classes.

My next gig is this weekend at the Tualatin Crawfish Festival.  It will be the first time at this event.  There will be music, lots of crawfish eating, not something I will be doing and watching all the pirates!  They have a pirate theme for this event.  Lets pray to the weather gods that it will be sunny that day and no rain!  When are the weatherman ever right anyway. check it out:  www.tualatincrawfishfestival.com

Please come join me at MacTarnahan’s Taproom tonight 4/23 to support Paint it Forward by eating and drinking.  MacTarnahan’s will donate 1/2 of all sales to buy art supplies for the kids of Sitton Elementary School in North Portland.  The Paint it Forward event, May 2nd, will be giving students a donated piece of art from local artists to keep as inspiration and artists will be teaching kids techniques and kids will go home with art supplies.  The kids then will create a piece of art that will be shown at the Roosevelt’s High School Art Show on May 12, 2008.
