Hi Friends,

My goal-setting for this year of course includes the exhibition, sale and traveling schedule I posted in January - but there is something new on the horizon!

In 2008, I will be producing the first of many HD-DVDs called The Traveling Painter Library. Whether in my studio or on location outdoors, I'll be teaching on film so that more of you can have access to lessons even if you cannot participate in a workshop.

Subjects will be many, but will start with Soft Pastel: A Painterly Approach, now in production. I cannot wait to roll out the first volume in this library. I will also offer the sessions in other formats even though by the end of 08, most broadcasters and TVs will be going fully High Definition.

Will keep you posted! And do send in your "wish list" of subjects. I have a master list but am confident you'll have ideas too!
