Last week I gave the commencement address at the McNally-Smith School of Music in St. Paul, Minnesota. It starts at the 45 minute mark.

Painting class, week five.

A progress update on my painting for the 3rd Ward intro to oil painting class I am currently taking. Two more weeks to go!

I’m two weeks into the Painting 1: Introduction to Traditional Oil Technique class at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn. The class assignment is to paint Velazquez’s “Portrait of a Man,” which hangs in the Met (seen at the far right). I was very nervous but it’s been very fun. My progress so far.

Appaloosa, “The Day We Fell in Love.” Always loved this song.
