Fielding Archer Sunday morning Demo in process
Just returned from Nimrod Hall and a weekend of study with Fielding Archer, an amazing artist from Richmond who shared his unique style with the group painting there. We learned so much by observing Fielding’s demonstrations and asking questions about how he works.
It was a terrific weekend of art at a beautiful place. Can’t wait for next time.

I’m back at Nimrod for a weekend of art. This place is magical in that there are so many beautiful sights to paint plus the minute you drive through the gate your troubles and worries melt away. Everyone is here to learn and create. The atmosphere is terrific. Today we’ll be working with Fielding Archer. Can’t wait to try something new. Enjoy these scenes from around Nimrod and I’ll share more tomorrow….

Here is another look (or two) at the Peace Poles. I finished a couple of samples that are on display outside of The Studio on Main Street. Take a look and think about what you want yours to look like. We will have a Paint Party scheduled soon to let you make your own.

Take a look at the next fun project we will be doing at The Studio – Peace/Garden Poles! They are based on the idea of Peace Poles.
“A Peace Pole is a hand-crafted monument that displays the message and prayer
May Peace Prevail on Earth
on each of its four or six sides, usually in different languages.
There are tens of thousands of
Peace Poles in 180 countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace. They serve as constant reminders for us to visualize and pray for world peace.” (Visit the source of Peace Pole info here.)
Start thinking of what you would like your saying to be so you will be ready to paint yours. More info to come soon.
