The Patio


This is a painting I did while attending the Scottsdale School of Art in Scottsdale, Arizona (well that was redundant wasn't it?)

This was a week long workshop with Ray Vinella. I loved studying with him and had the good fortune to do it twice. Google his name sometime, he's my favorite artist.

This has a rich impressionist style that is very effective.

I loved this workshop. Ray Vinella is an excellant teacher. Wish I could have gone every year.

Wow, this is very well done. I love the detail you put into the walls and trees.

Hi Cara, this piece has a soft, dreamy quality. Looks like a nice place to have a cup of coffee and read the paper:)
