Chuck Ceraso will demonstrate a still life oil painting using a painting knife on board. This is based on the discoveries of Monet in capturing the different lights throughout a day. Monet showed us how color is a constantly changing thing and that by training our perception, we can paint the difference between a sunny morning and a sunny afternoon as well as any other time of day and weather conditions.
Ceraso studied painting at the University of Notre Dame and with Henry Hensche after his college studies. He has taught in many places over the years including a 25 year stint at the Denver Museum of Art. His work is in private and public collections in this country and abroad.

Michaela Yoro will be demonstrating painting a still life going through her personal process when it comes to navigating composition, loose brush work and incorporating abstraction.  

My work is an exploration of beauty in the everyday. A quiet celebration of the ordinary through oil paint. Inspired by the character of light, the complexities of color, and the organic elegance of natural forms, I seek to capture the intimate moments that often go unnoticed. Florals, botanicals, fruits, vegetables, landscapes, and familiar corners of my home often serve as my subjects, each infused with a sense of nostalgia and comfort.

Most of my paintings emerge from personal spaces, my home or homes I frequent, where light and shadow transform the mundane into something poetic. Through my work, I aim to evoke a sense of warmth and belonging, inviting viewers to find beauty in their own surroundings. By focusing on the quiet, fleeting details of daily life, my paintings become a reflection of home, memory, and the gentle passage of time.
