Subject: IT IS RARE TO HAVE A
MASTER PAINTER WHO ALSO CAN TEACH....Hello sir ,
Dear Scott,
I still
have a $1.99/mth Red Tag Special but since my wife, the most
popular mother in the world, could benefit from your services I will waiver it,
but only for 12 months.
It almost
goes “against my religion” to share anything positive anyone has to
say about me with my audience who are “on average” still the worst of the
worst of us humans and who have to believe there are worse and help me in the
search while making their case that they are not the worst but only to those who I have very carefully
selected to be placed in the carbon copied section who can be counted on to let
me know the “dirt” about those they believe are worse, the worst of the worst
inevitably spotlight themselves on my FOOLS
NAMES FOOLS FACES IN PUBLIC PLACES list.
Does this
make sense as you realize how very many truly good people are out there who
have yet to hear of me?
I am rather
tired and very hungry having just got back from a rather late bicycle ride,
speaking most of the time with my very funny and wildly sexy French Canadian
wife who finally in this article below that came out in today’s Del Mar Times and who by the way have
banned my name unless it is something negative about me,
lets it be known that she is something of a math-wizard but ever so
extraordinarily humble not to mention to the lady who did the interview over
the telephone, the two have not met, that she jumped two classes at school
because of her over-the-top mathematics-logic which today she finds
excruciatingly boring but not as boring as me talking about it.
I think you
would agree the headline which Marti Gacioch came up with all on her own is
rather good, if not very excellent.
When,
however, you consider how extraordinarily articulate
What do you
think of this s
While it is
very possible that MDG will never
again do an interview without first being assured of getting a copy to review
before going to print if for no other reason than to make sure the journalist
doesn’t look like there is truth to what my Royal Mater-Mother,
“It’s rare to have a master painter who also can teach.”
The rest,

I think you
would agree the photo of her in front of her very excellent oil paintings is
quite excellent, whatever that means, although I seem to recall Marie actually
using the words, “It’s great!”.
If you
receive any “negative” feedback from this email
please just forward them to me with any suggestions you might have.
Cutting to
the chase,
would you or do you know of someone who would be interested in designing a
website for MDG on the www.SELLNEXT.com website?
Looking
forward to most of all hearing how many people you will be forwarding my
communiqués prior to me publishing my forthcoming book, THE HISTORY OF MONEY CREATION AND ITS FUTURE!, subtitle, A
Message For The President, both title and subtitle named by MDG on our 24 day “fact finding
mission” to China last summer.

Diligent study triggers artist’s evolution

Del Mar painter
Marie Dion advocates studying with the best art teacher available, and she
believes that she’s found that mentor in La Jolla artist
As a diligent
student of Capella’s for 10 years, she’s seen her skills grow ever stronger.
“When I first
started painting, I felt like a child, but now I feel like I’m starting to feel
comfortable with my degree of expertise,” she said.
She’s shown her
work professionally for two years, and is a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Art
Guild and the Del Mar Art Center Gallery.
While she says she
was interested in art as a child, and loved to draw, her parents didn’t
consider that a suitable profession for someone with her math skills. So Dion
chose a marketing and advertising career for its creative aspects.
While living In
Vancouver, she met and married her husband and they moved to
She began by taking
a life drawing class with McNeil Sargent.
“When I started her
class, I got excited again and knew that art was what I wanted to do,” she
said.
After she began
training with Capella, her enthusiasm for art grew even stronger.
“I’m so fortunate
to find him as I had been doing some pastels and was reluctant to go into
oils,” she said, “but he said, ‘if you can draw you can paint’ so I started
training with him and enjoy every minute.”
Even after all
these years, she said that she continues to learn from Capella because of his
great wealth of knowledge.
“He has such an
understanding of the values and colors of everything involved and the technical
aspects of painting,” she said.
Dion, who most
enjoys doing landscapes and real life portraiture figures, decided to train
with Capella because he was one of the few teachers who specialized in
portraiture.
“It’s rare to have
a master painter who also can teach,” she said.
She said that, as
she paints, she follows Capella’s training by concentrating on values and
colors.
“We do a lot of
exercises to master and train our eyes, but you still have to have a strong
basis in drawing,” she said.
Dion now paints
full-time in her
“That's where I
draw a lot of my inspiration,” she said. “I am inspired by nature in general,
and I walk on the beach a lot where I like to paint children playing in the
water; that way I can incorporate both landscapes and figures.”
Her favorite master
artists include Michelangelo and Velasquez.
“My focus is on
them because I love people who can really draw well,” she said.
Dion's next step in
the evolutionary process of working as a professional artist is to teach what
she's already learned. To that end, she and her husband are now searching the
local area for the perfect rental space where they can open a gallery/school.
“I’m doing this
because I think that knowledge should be shared, and I’m getting more
comfortable communicating what I know to other people,” she said.
Dion regrets the
lack of art education now available to children in public schools and loves the
idea of teaching them how to draw. She also plans to provide painting lessons
for adults and bring in other art teachers to work in the gallery as well.
In the meantime,
she thrives by painting the local scene.
“I spend a lot of
time looking for subject matter that stimulates me as that is very important to
me,” she said, “I also spend more time in the initial stages of drawing things
really well, so that minimizes the mistakes down the road.”
Dion notes that it
now takes her less time to complete a piece.
“I can paint two or
three days in a row, which is difficult on your knees because you're standing
all the time,” she said, “but when you're enjoying yourself, you forget about
all of that.”
Dion tries to paint
four or five days a week and prefers working on 16-by-20-in. canvases. She
usually produces one small painting and one medium-sized painting per week.
Her work can be
viewed, along with the work of other Del Mar Art Gallery Center members, on the
first Saturday of each month on the top level of Del Mar Plaza.
