New Chair paintings for sale

"Recharge"  oil   24" x 30"

"Retreat"  oil  18" x 14"

Oil  10" x 10"

I have recently completed several new paintings in my chair series.  Each serene setting has a glass of red wine for your enjoyment with a view of the Rocky Mountains.  These are all original oil paintings that are currently available for purchase.  "Recharge" and "Retreat" are views of the Canadian Rockies.  "Recharge" has a fair amount of impasto and pallet knife work.  The bottom painting that I just finished is a small study for a large commission I will be working on shortly.  My client loved the chairs of  "Recharge" but wanted the familiar Longs Peak in the background. This scene of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado is off of Highway 7; the Peak to Peak Highway.   I will use this painting to enlarge it to 30" x 30".  For prices and availability please contact me.

Watercolor, Oil and  Soft Pastel mediums (I will work with all of you but will have one set up)
$30
Location:  My backyard view of the foothills, garden, valley (see picture above)

Plein Air Loveland
Mon June 16 8:30am-12
Watercolor, Oil and Soft Pastel mediums (I will work with all of you but will have one set up)
$30
Location:  Loveland's North Lake Park  Meet at the pavilion by the playground
Learn to see as the Impressionists did; en plein air.  You will learn to sketch quickly, see values and colors  and paint from life.  Your painting will be much more alive.

Impressionistic Pastels 
Wed July 16 9am-3pm
Bring your soft pastels & sanded paper.  We'll work on underpainting and strokes of color.  Bring a sack lunch.
$60
Location:  My home studio in Loveland, Colorado.
Learn to paint as the Impressionist did; with bit of color of the same value.  Your painting will 'pop' as colors mix in your eye.

These three workshops do require payment ahead of time to reserve your spot.  If I do not get enough participants your payment will be fully refunded.  Message me for more details.
