Learn how to use natural light to advantage when working on outdoors black white portraits. This workshop will take place in the historical setting. The old master painters had a special word - chiaroscuro -meaning light-dark for the dramatic quality of shadow in portraits. This concept, as it relates to black and white portraiture, will be fully explained. The importance of 'catch lights' in eyes 'bokeh' for dreamy, soft backgrounds will also be addressed, as will the advantage of shooting in "open shade". Portraits will be taken with black and white conversion in mind, but can also be enjoyed in colour as well. The textured, stone walls and arcaded walkways in the venue will offer an atmospheric setting for this workshop!

Title or Location: 'Wot Appened!?'
This is a self-portrait which shows me at 20, 30, 40, 50 then, when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and on an oxygen machine. The identity changes as the peripheral images are self-assured. The middle character looks shocked and the difference goes way deeper. Moving into the world of disability is not easy but it teaches so much including a sense of humour, loss of ego, empathy, greater freedom and a joy of embracing life to the full and what really matters.

Title or Location: Fallen Angel
Self taught artist who enjoys drawing. I did this drawing for someone who daughter became a fallen angel. She didn?t know I was drawing it for her, I just wanted to draw a keepsake for her to treasure. I use to draw as a teenager my dad told me to stop wasting my time drawing! So I never picked up a drawing pencil or paper for 38 years! I see it as a gift now and so grateful.

Title or Location: in a not so secret garden
Our daughter Shawn was visiting from Los Angeles which she calls home these days. We have a garden of a sort in our front yard and Shawn was looking over some of the plant life wearing a black broad brimmed hat and a long matching dress. I ran inside our house to grab my old camera and asked her to not move for a few seconds. The dappled light in the front yard completed the composition. There is a small 12x12 that Shawn took back to LA and this 20x20 version. This was featured in the Mn State F
