Chasing Light

I was once again invited to the 4th annual  "Chasing Light" exhibition with the Plein Air Artists of Colorado group.  I paint with these talented hardy artists on some Friday mornings in Northern Colorado.  For one week we are showing our landscapes, both from plein air and studio at the Community Creative Center in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado.  Check out the art show!

People's Choice!

I was quite please to hear that "Tree Yoga" (24 x 18" pastel) won the  People's Choice award at the Lincoln Gallery's Regional show in June.  This is especially an honor as it is voted by the people that come to visit the show.

 The other good news is that "Perseverance" (oil) won a merit award at the same show that runs until July 2, 2015.  Come and see the paintings!

Plein Air Rockies 2014

The next big show on my horizon is "Plein Air Rockies 2014".  I was juried into this plein air event along with about 40 other artists from various places around the country.   Artists will paint  from Aug 9-21, 2014 outdoors, in areas within a 50 mile radius of Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park in Northern Colorado.

Currently there is a 'preview' show for the event where samples of each chosen artist is showcased at the Cultural Event Council Gallery downtown Estes Park.  I have a pastel "Tree Yoga" and and an oil "Serenity" in this show.   Both of these pieces were created in my studio but are from images of Rocky Mountain National Park.  Artists are permitted to paint where they choose within the boundary but there will larger groups to observe during the scheduled paint outs. The final reception and show is held on August 23 from 5-8pm where the public can view and/or purchase these freshly made masterpieces.  Tune in to my blog for my latest creations.

Ongoing Fall Classes

A Walk To Remember (pastel)

    This Fall I am again offering some home studio art classes for those who wish to really focus on their art on an ongoing basis. 

    September 18th, 2013 will be the first Watercolor and Drawing class on Wednesday morning from 9-12.  I have found over the years that many students of art ask to 'bypass' the drawing stage.  I feel like this is kind of like skipping learning the alphabet when you want to be a writer.  Drawing is not that hard if you know a few tricks to learn to see.  Tracing is a tool and should not be a crutch if you want to continue to improve your painting ability.  Since realistic watercolor painting requires planning I thought incorporating learning to draw would compliment the class.  We will do some of both each day with an emphasis on painting.

    On September 19th I will start my oil painting classes on Thursday mornings from 9-12.  In this ongoing class we will explore and dive deeper into color experimentation, value, technique & composition.  Since my classes are limited to 5 students, everyone will get plenty of individual attention.  I also like to gear my classes toward what each student wants to, or needs to learn.  I am open to different ideas. 

    I can give you more information including costs of classes if you send me a message.  There is a discount for those signing up for a month at a time. Depending in availability, you can start at any time.   I earned a BFA in studio arts, have been a professional artist for 15 years and have been teaching for over 10 years.

Nymph Lake

I brought a new set of paintings to The Grand Lake Art Gallery in Grand Lake, Colorado this week. This painting, "Nymph Lake" is a 24" x 18" original pastel that is for sale there.  With a record breaking hot summer I thought looking at some fresh snow might be refreshing.  Nymph Lake is a short hike in Rocky Mountain National Park with a beautiful view of Longs Peak and the Keyboard of the Winds.

Meditation

Meditation

This is a brand new pastel painting for 2012.  "Meditation" is 7.5" high x 18" wide with soft pastel on Wallis paper.   The scene is from a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado at Bierstadt Lake, a short but steep hike to this pristine alpine lake. Snow was falling at even higher elevations that day in autumn. When you reach a beautiful spot in the wilderness, it's good to take some time to meditate. This painting currently is for sale.
