  1. Great memories of being in class. That is
    John Fredette in the foreground. His work
    was incredible. I used to sit behind him in
    class, just to watch how he mixed colors.
    In figure drawing class, Russell would
    come around and say "let me sit there".
    In painting class, because we were at
    easels, he would say, "let me stand
    there", with his southern drawl.

  2. Wow! I studied with Mr. Keeter in the early '70s. He was a tough teacher. To say he was hard on me would be an understatement. I studied in his figure drawing and figure painting classes for a couple of years and I learned soooo much.
