Williamstown 2019 in the Beautiful Blue Berkshires


This year's workshop in Williamstown, Massachusetts, with Tom Dunlay was a wonderful experience. The beautiful blue Berkshires surrounded the artists and inspired fine work. They had the unusual opportunity to stay in R.H. Ives Gammell's summer residence, designed for himself and his students. Tom guided the group through the Clark Museum of Art learning from famous works by John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, Winslow Homer, Fantin-Latour, Alfred Stevens and many more. Of course, this was all enjoyed in each other's company as they worked together, talked shop, and enjoyed Katy's super meals!

Teaching Studio to Open!



I am very pleased to announce that after much serious thought, I will be opening a teaching studio 10 miles southwest of Boston in the town of Norwood. I have just secured 3 perfect north light painting studios where I will be teaching the Boston School way of working, as taught to me by my teacher R. H. Ives Gammell.

My plans are to run a small highly focused mentoring program where each student will work according to their individual skill and knowledge level. The program will include

  • cast drawing 
  • figure drawing 
  • still life painting 
  • portrait/figure painting 
  • landscape painting.
I will only be taking on a small number of full-time students. There is a possibility I will be able to take a few part-time students as well.

If you are interested in learning “how to see," and learn about the Boston Painters approach to studio and landscape painting, contact me personally. You can direct message me on FB, call me at 617-838-9181, or email me at trdunlay@gmail.com
