Happy Holidays and New Year!
As promised I am posting my students work from the New York Botanical Garden, Painting Botanicals in Gouache. Overall they did very well. A few students had taken my class on Nature Science Subjects in Gouache and had more experience. It takes time to know the unique qualities that gouache possesses, how to mix the pigments and manipulate the levels of opacity. I know that in their evaluation responses they wanted to take more classes in the medium. I am still learning how versatile gouache can be.

My sumi-e students also did lovely work this spring and early fall.
They went on a field trip to the New York Botanical Gardens
with me this summer to see the Monet exhibit.
They were inspired by the water lilies and lotus plants.

Happy Thanksgiving Season to all.
Thrilled to be back in my art studio with wonderful new vision.
Looking forward to receiving final projects from my students at the New York Botanical Garden. I hope to share some of their work on the blog in the near future. The Gouache techniques for Botanical Subjects was successful and a great follow up to the Gouache techniques for Nature Science Subjects. I had several return students in the course who completed Painting Nature Science subjects in gouache.

Catskill Art Society 40th Anniversary Party
Thrilled to have celebrated the Catskill Art Society's 40th Anniversary in their beautiful new home, of five years, in Livingston Manor, NY. A world class gallery and art center. The evening featured wonderful local food and drinks in a festive atmosphere. We were serenaded by a keyboard artist and guitarist who played through the evening. Dignitaries spoke about the excellent programs that highlight a community non-profit group which offers a full range of services to its members.
In addition a tour and power point presentation featured new in process improvements to the basement and second floor. The new areas hold the potential for performance areas, studios and additional exhibit space. Plastic hard hats were the signature image on t-shirts, key chains and life sized hats to get across the "work-in-progress" aspect to fund raise for the buildings completion.
In the gallery were oil paintings and photos reflecting landscapes of the area.
It was my first time on Route 17 West since completion of the new road that by passes Parksville and made the trip quicker than in the past linking Sullivan County in a rapid flow. The Bridgeville bridge is midway through completion and I look forward to when the "quickway" is fully completed.
It is now a half hour drive from Wurtsboro to Livingston Manor.
The CAS building has withstood many floodings in the area with new roof, steel beams and sump pump. The view of the stream is gorgeous but can also yield problems during severe storms.
Most often when I am there to teach art classes it has always been lovely weather. The fall leaves were faintly visible as I drove up last night.
My dedication to continuing my lifetime practice of professional fine and commercial artwork with the love of sharing my knowledge as an art educator is a full-time effort. I am renewed with crystal clear vision for which I am extremely grateful. Modern medical technology offers easy solutions to common visual problems. Dr. Robert Ritch, of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary diagnosed cataracts in my eyes a year ago. Dr. S. Modi of Seeta Eye Care in Poughkeepsie confirmed the classic "Monet" cataracts in both eyes. The successful surgery, by Dr.Modi, at Dutchess Ambulatory Surgical Center has given me perfect vision. I am so happy that I can continue to discover new inspiration on a daily basis! I no longer need glasses for driving and use lighter reading glasses for detail work!

Fall 2012
A crisp fall day. Thankful for a season of renewal and forgiveness. Looking forward to a year filled with new clients, students, new paintings and opportunities. Image below taken by Barbara Bedell and featured in the Times Herald Record news page 19.
"Artist Roberta Rosenthal donating a painting to the Ellenville Regional Hospital Auxiliary auction at Eagles Nest restaurant."
I went into Manhattan recently and past by the space once occupied by my sensei (teacher), Koho, school of sumi-e painting. It was sad to see it empty. I recently told members of the Oriental Brush Artist Guild at the Hammond Museum how I can still hear her voice when I am demonstrating painting. It never fails that I can hear many of my teachers who sit on my shoulders to guide me.
