Then in the afternoon he is offering a half-day workshop.  As a representational artist, Stürcke seeks to find common ground between the contemporary and the classical.  Greatly influenced by the Dutch Masters, Sturke aims to depict the personal, the emotional, and the quiet elegance in his paintings through light, shadow, and texture.
