Plantation Lawn is a demo from my spring workshop in St. Simons Island, GA. We were painting at the historical Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation (we always go to wonderful places and have a great time! Just sayin'...) If you are thinking about putting a workshop on your Christmas list, I would love to have you come to one of mine!

And here is a snippet of the day. I often start with a paint along demo, where students follow the same steps as me. It helps to step through the whole process together, and the "see and do" aspect reinforces muscle memory (for both brain and hand...

Getting started - Compose with lines and shapes that will direct eye flow. Create an "envelope" to contain shapes (sometimes they want to grow).

Block-in value patterns of large shapes. Mass-in Upright planes in the shadow family.

Look at the way my colleague Wesley Virgin's story launches with this shocking and controversial VIDEO.

You see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

THESE are the exact same tactics lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.

That's really because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe that thought has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while riding an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and with $3 on his bank card.

"I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"

You've been a part of those those conversations, ain't it right?

Your very own success story is waiting to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
