Friday was an exciting day……
We shipped out all of the orders for the Half-A-Dozen DVDs and we had Half-A-Dozen up and running on YouCanPaintClub.com.
Today we’re now uploading A Cozy Little Hide-A-Way to the Club and we’ve packaged up all of the orders for this DVD and they will go out in the morning.
This coming week we have two more films we’re preparing. They include the 5th hole at Peeble Beach Golf Course in Carmel, California and the Abbey from England. The 5th Hole will be done with Water Mixable Oils and the Abbey will be with Acrylics.
So be on the lookout for these two films.
It’s so hard to believe that its only been two weeks since the YouCanPaintClub.com has opened. Yet we have most of the films loaded, have added two new films and in February will be splashing our new webcast shows. Life seems so different this year.
Take care……..have a great cooooooooool weekend if you’re in New England. Warmer one elsewhere.

Hi, Darrell, and thank you for your last reply. I continue watching your videos and have tried with very little success. I know practice makes perfect. One problem I am having is when I try and paint say a large tree over a distant mountain that when I start overlapping the mountain my tree turns into mud. Is my paint perhaps to thick or am I trying to paint over too thick of paint? Would adding thinner to my tree mix solve this problem?
Thanks, Larry K Read the rest of this entry »

A few days ago, Barbara asked me several questions and my answers have trigged a series of private discussions. I found myself today in agreement with Barbara.
You’ll recall the following statement I made….. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning I presented my wife with the painting, Half-A-Dozen. She gave me the weird look.
It looks beautiful, but I don’t like the name and what does it have to do with our anniversary? she asked me.
I was just waiting for that question. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow is January 25th.
It’s also our 41st Wedding Anniversary.
I have created a very special painting lesson on DVD for my wife which I shall present to her. (I’ll present the painting, not the DVD)
I call it “Half a Dozen”.
I don’t know why its named that, it just came to mind sitting out in the hot sun on a bench.
It features four roses, each representing a decade of life together…. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Darrell
I would love to learn to do the beach scenes with the palm trees as well as the landscapes, seascapes, clipper ships, and floral. I cannot see any floral pictures on the site they won’t open.How do I see which ones I would like to do? Also what would you suggest I purchase to give me the most lessons to learn these? Also are the dvd’s that we purchase full screne? I know with the free beginner it’s small but will the dvd’s be larger to see more detail? Sorry for so many questions I have been painting in acrylics and teaching acrylics for years and I was shyig away from oils but have decided to get back into it. I saw the series for sale but wondered if the hoiday specials are still available because when I clicked on a special package to purchase they were a higher price at the checkout. I’ve been loving my daily lessons but would like to get the dvd’s so I can learn more details such as a start to finish paintings.
Thank you, Barbara

Growing up is quite an experience for all of us.
Seems certain folks we got to know during that period will always be especially close. Like my sisters. My brothers. My cousins (about 7 in particular). We were the Magnificent 9 when you count my brother and I.
My brother went to heaven about 20 years ago, the result of a fishing accident.
My cousin Ed was a year younger and I can still hear and see him as though we were only 8-years old. Even though we’re married, have kids who are grown, married and now raising children of their own.
Whenever Ed and I were together, it seems as though we had never grown-up and left our home in Beckemeyer, Illinois. Never quit playing our games, or having our talks throughout the night. We were tight. Good cousins.
I gave him the USS Constitution painting I did for the Learn To Paint from Photograph’s Course. He loved it and had visited the ship once in Boston.
Now he’s gone.
I’ve just learned God called him home last night.
He’d been fighting cancer for three years.
I guess God needed a really good cousin to talk with.
Goodbye Ed.
You are already missed.
I invite you to share your favorite cousin story below in the comments field.
Darrell
