Alamosa Artwalk 2013

All sorts of arts will blossom in Alamosa this Friday and Saturday, June 21-22. My paintings will be on display at Wild Roses on Main Street in the Antiques side front window. Might even try a little painting between 11 am and 2 pm. This art created around town and a few other paintings will be on display.

Front Yard Aspen, water media, 11 x 8.5

VFW Post 899, Alamosa, water media, 11 x 11

Sacred Heart, water media, 10 x 8

Cole Park + City Hall, water media, 5 x 7

Ready to Jump, water media, 5 x 7

The first four were created (at least partially) on location last summer (en plein air) using both drawing and painting materials and methods. The cat showed up late last fall and spent some time hanging out in the neighborhood. A savvy fellow.

"Clouds at Play over Blanca"

Five Paintings for Alamosa ArtWalk

The winter seems to be melting away, even though we had a big blizzard last Friday! It's suddenly spring, and time for ArtWalk here in Alamosa. I am busy framing and will hang my five paintings this week at Hospice del Valle, 514 Main Street, for the big event this Saturday, March 27. (The five paintings will appear directly above this posting)

It is always difficult to decide which paintings to show. I finally decided to select by subject matter, and they are all of places right here at the north edge of town. The titles will explain nicely. Following is the Statement I have prepared for this show:

Artist Statement

Most days I walk on the levee along the south side of the Rio Grande, La Veta to State.
In summer, I sometimes bike on the levee north of the Rio, west from State around the big bend, across the south end of the Ranch, and back on Cottonwood to State.

What magnificent views at different times of the day, in different kinds of weather!

Light in the morning and evening changes everything --- often quickly and astoundingly.

I strive to capture some of that drama in the studio.
