New Gallery Representation in Estes Park

 

 I recently joined the Cultural Art Services of Estes Park (Colorado) Gallery.  I will be participating in their member shows.  The first is the Holiday Gifts and Miniatures show which runs through the end of December 2016.  I have several small framed original paintings that are hung plus affordable original bin work and prints for sale.

I had 3 of my paintings accepted into the  2016 Western Spirit Art Show at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum in Wyoming.  The opening is on March 5 at 6pm and you can see the show through April 17.  The features over 100 western artists from across the country.  Tickets for the opening may be purchased through the Museum.  I will also have 2 miniature paintings for sale in the Vandewark Miniature Art Exhibit.  The opening they put on never disappoints and I am looking forward to the show.  Join me!

Paint the Poudre Plein Air: Horsetooth Reservoir

My 'perch' on the ridges above Horsetooth Reservoir

"Perch" 5 x 11" oil

"Depth" 6 x 12" oil

On one very cloudy cool morning my painting buddy & I headed up to Horsetooth Reservoir which is just west of Fort Collins, Colorado.  At first I was let down with the dim lighting.  I soon realized the atmospheric grays were enchanting with the cool overcast, especially after painting in the 90's all week.  I completed two small oils that morning and am happy with both.
In the Paint the Poudre 2014 event we could paint anywhere along the Poudre River, Fort Collins and Timnath. I completed 8 paintings in 6 days, all of which were completed en plein air. Both of these original oil paintings are available for purchase, contact me for details.

50 Shades

50 Shades

I just finished painting "50 Shades" (of Gray).  I decided to try to paint a small oil version of this 6" x 12" before I tackle a bigger one.  I like the way the miniature turned out so I feel better about enlarging this image.  This scene I encountered did not seem real it was so beautiful.  I was outside of the Prince of Whales hotel in Waterton, Alberta when the sun broke through the heavy cloud cover illuminating the fjords of southern Canada.  When I examined the dramatic values in the photo I saw beautiful purple grays and pink grays that I incorporated into the painting of the Rocky Mountains.  Grays can be quite stunning.
