Announcement    Welcome to my little gallery. What fun! A friend just turned me on to this site and I thought I would put a few of my paintings and instructional books and videos here. I also have a gallery at http://margaretaycock.com if you would like to see a greater number of my paintings. I have a foraging blog on blogspot.com heep://clairgoesforaging.blogspot.com

I paint and teach painting and drawing for a living . ( thus the instructional DVDs and book ) I also work in an artist in residence with the arts and healing program at our local hospital. I have a great life. If you like my work and would like to commission a painting please feel free to contact me at artistswaygallery (at ) yahoo.com. Want a landscape, portrait of your family home or a still life of your family heirlooms then jot me a note and we'll talk. I especially enjoy the heirlooms still life paintings and I think they are a great solution for families who have lost a loved one and want a way to remember them. A lot of families ( not mine of course ) argue and fight over who gets what after a death in the family. This is a perfect, positive, solution!
