Painting a Seascape Video Preview and Exciting News

Hello, everyone!  I'm so excited to announce that I'm going to be joining the Jerry's family as an Art Ambassador.  This means I'm going to be getting cool new products to try out with you!  I've always loved sharing my process, and I'm thrilled to get the chance to try out some new supplies.  

One of my video tutorials this month will be going over how to paint a seascape. I'm going to be posting the full 20 minute long tutorial for the Starlight Tier later this evening, but for now I thought I would show you the preview!  Thank you Lisa for suggesting an ocean waves tutorial.  I have listed my materials below, including some of the new paints and brushes that Jerry's sent over my way!

Mission Blue

Mission Blue is a project developed by Sylvia Earle to create "Hope Spots" around the globe within our oceans. These areas act as nature reserves, letting them heal and regenerate. The intention of this show is to bring awareness and to raise funds for this charity.  

My contribution is "Red Deep".  A piece inspired by the endangered Deepwater Redfish,  an amazing creature that can live up to 75 years in the wild. Fisheries are the main threat to the survival and recovery of the species. 

If you are interested in the original painting, contact: info@havenartgallery.com

The Haven Gallery is located 155 Main Street, Northport, NY and theMission Blue show runs from October 29-November 27th. Details are up at

http://www.havenartgallery.com/upcoming-shows/

The opening will be October 29th from 6-8pm.
