2015 Art Retreat Photos

2015 August Art Retreat was very fruitful.  We worked very hard for 5 days.  Mornings working on a larger painting in veil technique with Blues.  A given exercise to push their limits.  Afternoons, a variety of artistic exercises to loosen and stretch one's inner life.  One full day devoted to landscape light and dark and color, going outside.
Philip Incao gave an evening presentation on health and illness
I gave, together with 3 others an art presentation on Franz Marc, Kandinsky, Macke, degenerate art, music of that time. and more.  Some of the students also were involved with the performance.

Nature Institute in Harlemville, New York was eventful and interesting.


Each morning I ventured across a beautiful meadow to the Nature Institute.  The mornings were filled with various observation exercises and color experiments from a Goethean scientific view point.
Afternoons were spent artistically studying color through painting and drawing.  One exercise we did was studying cloud formations and creating a painting of clouds.

I did a evening presentation, showing some on my paintings.
