Randall Tipton Demo Using Yupo Paper! And I had the privilege to see Randall Tipton. Demonstrate at Museum 510 in Lake Oswego, Oregon. He is a very accomplished and wonderful painter, and he is one of my favorite art friends! He was demonstrating with watercolor painting. Yupo is a compelling and unique alternative to traditional art papers. It is waterproof, stain-resistant, and extremely strong and durable.

Nicholas Evans of The Horse Whisperer. Fame has written a novel featuring Smoke Jumping characters based in Montana. Evans brings his documentary writing experience to all of his novels and his thorough research provides an element of authenticity. Another memoir but from a slightly different perspective.

Thursday, September 01, 2016. I have other books by the same author about painting, and this is one of her best! She explains everything quite clearly and provides numerous examples to go along with the descriptions. The book is broken down into separate lessons, and is written in an easy to understand way. I especially enjoyed the lesson about using color effectively. Thursday, June 23, 2016.

Sunday, March 18, 2018. North Captiva Sunset, 9x12 Oil Painting on Canvas Panel, Seascape. At the end of each road on the Gulf side of North Captiva Island in Florida there is a beach, and most every night there is a sunset show. People gather on beach chairs and watch the sun go down, and there is sometimes applause. No paintbrush can truly capture it.
