Working on the Judgment Card for the Zeitgeist Tarot and found an opportunity to talk about one of the amazing color effects that makes me love the Mische Technique

Hi everyone!  Despite appearances and sparse updates, I’m happy to report that I have been hard at work on some new pieces including a couple of additions to the Zeitgeist Tarot.  While I receive notifications when someone has made a purchase through my RedBubble store, RedBubble does not disclose the name of the person who […]

I’m posting from Hotel PayerbacherHof in a town near Vienna. I’m here studying with Professor Philip Rubinov-Jacobson, the world’s preeminent teacher of the Mische Technique. I’m here studying for three weeks and I’m having an amazing time. I’m in the midst of working on three paintings in the Tarot series: Temperance, Justice and The Devil. […]

Apparently I’ve neglected to mention that I now have a website!  Check me out at http://www.bethlerman.com.

There are now multiple places to buy prints of my work, including in an actual store!  Bay Area folks: prints of five of my paintings are now on display for sale at Bay Home and Linens on B Street in San Mateo, CA.  The advantage of buying a print through the store (rather than online) […]

I applied to my first art competition and it’s a doozy of a competition.  The Smithsonian has a triennial (yes, that means once every three ennials) portrait competition and the pieces that are accepted go on tour for three years.  Also you can win cash moneys.  I decided to enter “The Mirror Stage” and when […]
