About These People....

One day, many years ago at an art workshop, I spotted this woman doing a wonderful painting of a farm wagon.  To my great benefit, Cathe Gill has been a friend since that day.  Watercolorist, oil painter, printmaker, co-director of Art Partners (an international exchange program for artists), mixed media artist, author of 'Powerful Watercolor Landscapes' and teacher of innumerable workshops for artists, she baffles me as to how she juggles so much, so well.  Like Bob, Cathe is a bit zany, donning various impromptu costumes and props.

Bob Phinney was born and raised a Montanan, but enjoyed a stint in the Seattle area where I was lucky enough to meet him and become his friend.  Creativity oozes off Bob like syrup on pancakes.  He is accomplished as a potter, oil painter, water colorist, pastelist, cartoonist, woodworker, print maker, sketcher and about six other things I've completely missed.  Check out his book, 'The Simple Sketch'.   He's also a patient concise instructor with a rather corny sense of humor.

Darrell Anderson hobnobs around with Bob and Cathe, soaking up whatever great artistic wisdom they have to offer.  For some reason they made him their 'manager' which, since the monetary reward has been so huge (not), was a complete surprise to him.  He has no sense of humor.
