Julie Rogers Watercolor Painting Demonstration

 We were thrilled to have noted artist Julie Rogers give us a watercolor demonstration at the monthly meeting of the Dixie Watercolor Society in St. George UT. Julie recently won Best of Show at the AIS American Impressionist Society, so we were honored to have her demonstrate. The Dixie Watercolor Society now has 159 members.

Master Painting Class for My Kids

 It is so much fun to belong to a painting family. My sons Jim Lee and Jon Lee have been painting for some time, and have won many awards. Now they have been joined by my daughter Jana who is also becoming a respected watercolor painter. All three of them joined me for a special day-long workshop at my studio. What a thrill to see them all working so hard to develop their craft.

Plein Air Salon Top 100 Roland Lee

 I was pleased to learn that out of 1249 entries, my painting "Desert Cowboy" was juried into the Plein Air Salon Top 100 for January 2023. The show was juried by master artist C.W. Mundy. The painting was done for my new book "The Way to Angel's Landing" which was written by Lyman Hafen and illustrated by Roland Lee
