Matanzas Creek Winery by Impressionist Carol Smith Myer

Our Friday plein air class went to the Lavender fields of Matanzas Creek Winery. Got a nice place in the shade looking over to the fields and the chairs and umbrella. 12x12", oil on linen panel.email

Daniel Gerhartz Workshop

Fantastic week in Wisconsin with Daniel Gerhartz. Food for the soul! Everything this trip was lovely and inspiring. Wisconsin is gorgeous, Dan’s home and studio are stunning, his work is incredible, and he genuinely cares and does his utmost to help his students. So glad I went. I know I improved because when I got home, I looked at my old paintings, and saw what was missing.

Gallerie La Belle in Carmel is closing doors!

So sad to learn that my gallery with about 40 paintings of mine is closing its doors! Let me know if you have ideas for new venues, have to get back down to business! This is the vineyard at Greenstrings Farm in Petaluma. 9x12", oil on linen panel
