Greetings fellow light workers!

If you're in Annapolis, MD between June 7th and the 28th,
stop in the McBride Gallery on Main Street to see my plein air
work, and the work of similar artists including Stuart White,
Will Williams, and Tim Bell, each of whom I particularly admire.

This month I'm looking forward to teaching a Paint Mixing
Workshop at the Middletown Arts Center in NJ as an
unadvertised special. Mixing and tubing paint is very messy
and reminds me of building mudpies. Our goal is to mix all the
paint needed to create the DuMond Palette, also called the
Prismatic Palette. I will also show students how to use the
palette to paint different atmospheric conditions. By the end
of the summer we will all speak the same crazy language:
upright shadow values, neutralization points, and sky
progression color.

A few health setbacks last month, but getting better every
day. Thank you for your messages and good wishes. Cancelled
a few painting trips, but otherwise life is good.

- Lauren
