Last week I was teaching at Yosemite valley’s Art Center, operated by the Yosemite conservancy. This is a non-profit organization which means I didn’t get paid, but i think it is important to give back to the general community that helped me get where I am today. It wasn’t easy to tear myself away and not make any money for a whole week, but staying in Yosemite for free is a treat and I am happy I did it!
I want to thank Aline Allen at the Art Center for welcoming me and her efforts to fill up my classes. The only adverse conditions during the past week was the ongoing heat and extreme dryness that makes watercolor painting oh-so difficult!
Next year I will have to pick an earlier or later date!

Great paintings, as always, Frank. They both look Hot Hot Hot! You are so good at relaying the atmosphere of where you are through your work.
that’s a great compliment, Leslie – cause that’s exactly what I am after. Great to hear I am getting there! Thanks for the comment my friend!
Ongoing heat is almost the worst. Ongoing heat with humidity is absolutely the worst. But the heat didn’t stop you. More great paintings.
It did and it didn’t, Carol – it’s a pain (you know where) when it’s too dry. I always say in my workshops: there is a reason the paint watercolor in England and not in Egypt! Thanks for your comment
