What if that joy could not only return, but deepen — through fresh insight, meaningful challenges, and renewed vision?
Sharing the Journey was created for just this purpose.
I invite you to enjoy a taste of what we’ve been developing for you.
Join me in this free lesson as I explore the beauty and subtlety of painting with backlighting — an in-depth look at capturing light and depth in your work. You’ll see how I judge and organize values, simplify complex passages into clear value masses, and navigate the unique challenges of this elusive subject.
At its core, this lesson is about learning to see more clearly — learning what to look for — and using that clarity to create paintings that feel luminous, intentional, and alive.
You can view or download my reference images and materials list here.

If this lesson gave you clarity…
imagine what steady guidance over time could do.
I created Sharing the Journey for painters who want to grow with confidence and avoid years of trial and error.
With over 35 years of teaching experience, I focus on helping you strengthen your ability to see what matters most — so your paintings become more accurate, fresh, and alive from the very beginning.
No pressure. Just practical guidance and consistent progress.

P.S. Real growth takes time and intention. If painting matters to you, giving yourself steady guidance can change not just your work, but your enjoyment of the process. Only you can decide if now is the right time.
We hope you will join us TODAY!
