I’m learned much and received a lot of encouragement from several talented teachers at the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery, located at the Glen Echo Park in Glen Echo, MD (right across the street from Bethesda). I’d like to introduce them over the next few postings, in chronological order.

Jordan Bruns is the current artist-in-residence, occupying the second and third floors of the Chatauqua Tower, as well as Yellow Barn manager. He paints and draws large scale quasi-architectural images that are abstract, yet grounded in familiar geometric shapes.

Here is one of his paintings:

Reveille, mixed media paint on panel, 36x48"

And here’s the first one that I did in my first class with him:

Apples, Jar, Pitcher and Plate
