First Edition

Welcome to the first edition of Trudy's news about art.
Please send comments and let me know what you would like to see in the newsletter.

Summer in south Florida is the slow season for exhibiting locally. However next season looks promising. I will have an exhibit in the Norris Center in downtown Naples coming up. Early in 2007, I will be showing at the airport on Marco Island for 4 months.

Stay tuned for more details and do check out my website to see all my latest work.

I have also started a new blog about experimental work. http://fun-with-paint.blogspot.com/
While my passion is a more traditional approach to painting, I do love to experiment and enjoy paint for paint's sake. When my pallet is full and my painting is done, there is a fair amount of color that is just too beautiful to discard. I have decided to use the leftover paint to have some fun.. You will also find some other work there which is usually fairly whimsical. For example, I made a soft sculpture fish...well, you will soon see another side of this painter.

I have been using Old Masters Maroger as a medium. I just tried another one of their fine products, Old Masters Italian Wax medium. I am thrilled with these products and find them to be an excellent value. Check out their website http://www.oldmastersmaroger.com/flemish.htm

I intend on publishing an update weekly. Let me know if you have any questions.
