Sweet Art Show

Retreat

 I recently rejoined the Lincoln Gallery in Loveland, Colorado.  This co-op gallery is run by the Thompson Valley Art League.  Every February they sponsor a members show called the Sweet Art show.  (Valentine's Day is a big deal in Loveland every year.) I entered two oils and "Retreat" won 2nd place for oils.  I love this scene of an Adirondack chair sitting beside a peaceful alpine lake with  the rugged Rocky Mountain peaks surrounding it.  I found this scene near Fernie, British  Columbia at Island Lake Lodge.  I added the red glass of wine to make it that much more inviting.  This original oil is for sale, contact me for current availability.

A possible companion piece for "Retreat" is "Recharge" which is a larger (24" x 30") original oil painting with two Adirondack chairs with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine.  "Recharge" is more impressionistic with some impasto.  Both paintings give me peace of mind.

Western Spirit Art Show 2015

Homespun

 My original oil "Homespun" was accepted into the Western Spirit Art Show in Cheyenne, Wyoming with an opening on March 7, 2015.  I painted this oil plein air in my backyard last summer.  I was participating in Plein Air Rockies which had a 50 mile radius of Estes Park.  My backyard is well within the parameters so I set up a favorite homemade log cabin quilt on the clothesline and captured the late afternoon light of the Front Range in Colorado.

Shades of Spring

 The other two mini oils of mine in this national show are "Shades of Spring" and "Perch".   "Shades of Spring" is a pallet knife plein air oil painting from last Spring when the lilacs were just blooming.  This painting has a fair amount of texture in the impasto swirls.

"Perch" is also a plein air original oil I painted while participating in Paint the Poudre Plein Air 2014.  I set up my pochade box on a hilltop above Horsetooth Reservoir and captured a gray, but atmospheric day in Northern Colorado.
