Wyatt LeGrand: August 2020

Saturday, August 29, 2020

Turns out, Covid outbreaks can be identified and avoided from a distance. Just look in the direction of those deep rumblings and search for the low and dark clouds on the horizon. It's not a thunderstorm, it's a collection of invincible Midwesterners in diesel trucks. I'm afraid fake news still leaves a path of destruction, so I'll just continue to hunker down here in tornado alley, six miles from ground zero. "Black smoke don't mean it's broke," but what about the driver?

Ask and You Shall Receive - September Workshop

1-Day Workshop: Painting with Style and Purpose
Saturday, September 19th
Bloomfield, Indiana

On Saturday, September 19th, I'll be hosting a plein air painting workshop here in Bloomfield, Indiana. This one-day class will focus on working quickly and accurately on location as a means of sketching and producing finished paintings with style. We will be meeting at a beautiful farm with an abundance of subject matter, including: barns, farm machinery, animals, fruit trees, and quintessential Indiana landscape.

This workshop is appropriate for both novice and experienced painters. Supply lists will be provided to registered students, however, all color media is welcome. Lunch will be provided. We will begin the day with an 8am demonstration/Q&A and finish up around 6pm with a group critique and discussion. Local lodging options are available.

We will have access to a large interior space in case of inclement weather and to help facilitate social distancing during gatherings throughout the day. Masks will be required while indoors. Class size is limited to 12 students.

Hot Diggety Dog!

On Saturday, August 15th, I'll be giving a "demonstration" at the Brown County Art Guild in Nashville, Indiana. It'll be a free show, open to the public until they fill the gallery to half capacity. I'll probably paint a picture. I'll probably talk a lot about painting. I'll probably yell and curse a lot. Turpentine will be served straight up as a refreshment and cure for the coronavirus.

Things start getting wild at 2pm. Put a mask on your head, lather up with hand sani, and come enjoy the brouhaha.
