Niagara School of Imaging
64 years old… back to school! Just returning from five days at Niagara School of Imaging (NSI) http://www.niagaraschool.com/ . What a blast! Traveling through the fruit belt of Ontario brought back so many memories from my youth when I spent part of a summer picking fruit in the Vineland and Jordan Station area about fifty years ago. NSI was awesome. I enrolled in Marilyn Sholin’s class http://www.marilynsholin.com/

for digital painting. Marilyn is one of only three dozen Corel Paining Masters in the world and she deserves to be there. All NSI classes are small (7 in our case) so you get all the attention you need. Now I have to unscramble my brain and start using what I learned. The hardest part is getting my head around the idea that paintings are a representation of reality (unless you’re my magnificent artist friend Cheryl Battistelli http://cherylbattistelli.com/ who seems to know every whisker on a cat’s face… I’m sure she counts them 
Anyway, made some really nice friends and am looking forward to this new expression of my artistic talents.

Digital Animal Painting
This is Lucky, who went to doggie heaven last year after suffering a stroke. The family wanted a good keepsake portrait of her, but only had snapshots that wouldn’t really make a good wall portrait, so they commissioned me to create a digital painting based on their photographs. Attached are the before and after images.
