I had a nice crowd attend my book signing June 21 at the St. George Chamber of Commerce meeting room. I signed lots of books and shared stories behind the paintings in my new book, Roland Lee, A Legacy in Landscapes. The event was sponsored by the Book Bungalow, a local book store. My two daughters Jodi and Jana helped set up and Jodi read some quotes from the book.

I am enjoying painting with new artist friends in the Ogden area as part of an acrylic workshop with master artist John Poon. Thanks to Lura Joseph and Kathy Chessee for purchasing a couple of my new plein air paintings.

I am enjoying a wonderful workshop with my friend and master artist John Poon. Joined by 10 others we painted every day this week outdoors in the Ogden and Bountiful Utah area. It has been a fun week while I try to make sense of painting in acrylics. It has been so hot that I had to keep misting my palette, the paints and even my canvases to keep the acrylics from drying out. But I am having a blast.
